It is.

You just built "an" FPC 3.0.1, not "the" FPC 3.0.0. Those are two very
different things. To build FPC 3.0.0, you have to check out
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_3_0_0/

The first part of that message is an artefact related to us sometimes
supporting two starting versions (such as right now, when both 2.6.4 and 3.0.0
are supported). In that case the error message only displays one of the two
supported versions.
Please do not use the workaround Sven provided, but just start your build with
FPC 3.0.0.
