I just returned back from vacation, let me check this.

Seems strange

That one was proposed to solve a lazarus IDE rebuild issue. I don't like it as I
tend to think that units shall be compiled only once and not every time. However
the way upstream sees Lazarus distribution is  the opposite. I don't see a
better way to fix it.

This means that we are missing some PPU/LPK files to be distributed or maybe we
are trying to recompile some units and missing some include files.
One needs to add -va and look carefully to the log file.

Somewhat as it was fixing bug#898310

Maybe we shall think more about this change. Removing the manually flag leads to
a deeper question: Do we need to distribute LCL units in binary form if they
will get recompiled anyway?
