Those are normal

Those also, if you use the make version from 'Borland', but you have to
use the make provided by fpc. You can (temporarily) remove delphi from
your part-settings, or place the directory of fpc before delphi in your
path-string. Or you could simply remove the make.exe (or rename it) from
Borland, as you'll probably never use(d) it.

In this page you can also find out how to compile fpc and lazarus
yourself. The step where you are now, is step 3 in thin link:

Well, you have to learn. It's not that hard, you can find a lot on
information about it on the wiki.

That's useless as long as fpc isn't recompiled. But you can do that
afterwards, yes.
