Class operators in Freepascal records like in Delphi 2010?

Dang! The compiler sat there compiling for x amount of time, and then bombed with an error

Error: Util as.exe not found, switching to external linking

Here is the last part of the dos output:

Press any key to continue . . .

I don't know what happened...do you think this means I need something path in my path environmental variable or similar?

This is my compile script batch file that I placed in the g:\fpc\2.5.1 folder contain the SVN source and make file, etc.:

set FPCMAKEPATH=C:/lazarus/fpc/2.4.2
set FPCPATH=C:/lazarus/fpc/2.4.2
set OUTPATH=G:/dev/fpc/2.5.1
for /r %OUTPATH%\examples %%d in (.svn) do @rmdir /s /q %%d
%FPCMAKEPATH%/bin/i386-win32/make clean FPC=%FPCPATH%/bin/i386-win32/ppc386.exe
if errorlevel 1 goto quit

:quit
pause

G:/dev/fpc/2.5.1 is where I want to install? freepascal 2.5.1, and C:/lazarus/fpc/2.4.2 is where (obviously, DUH!) where I have the existing freepascal comiler...

cheers,
