[fpc-pascal] Lazarus install failure

The command which failed in the "make" fails identically from the command line: 
   asterix:lazarus> /usr/local/bin/fpcmake -p -Tlinux Makefile.fpc
   Processing Makefile.fpc
   Error: Target "linux", package "rtl" not found

Using target i386-linux, the command succeeds:
   asterix:lazarus> /usr/local/bin/fpcmake -p -Ti386-linux Makefile.fpc
   Processing Makefile.fpc
    Writing Package.fpc

So I regenerated all Makefiles for target i386-linux:
   asterix:lazarus> fpcmake -p -w -Ti386-linux $(find . -name "*Makefile.fpc")
   Processing ./components/gtk/gtkglarea/Makefile.fpc
    i386-linux requires: rtl,paszlib,netdb,libasync,pthreads,pasjpeg,ibase,postgres,mysql,sqlite,fcl,x11,opengl,gtk
    Writing Makefile
   Processing ./components/Makefile.fpc
    i386-linux requires: ""
    Writing Makefile
   Processing ./components/codetools/Makefile.fpc
    i386-linux requires: rtl,paszlib,netdb,libasync,pthreads,pasjpeg,ibase,postgres,mysql,sqlite,fcl
    Writing Makefile
   ....etc....

But "make install" then fails a different way:
   Free Pascal Compiler version 1.9.9 [2005/05/07] for i386
   Copyright (c) 1993-2005 by Florian Klaempfl

   Compiling lazarus.pp
   lazarus.pp(98,1) Error: Can't create object file: units/i386-linux/lazarus.o
   lazarus.pp(98,1) Fatal: Can't create object units/i386-linux/lazarus.o
   lazarus.pp(98,1) Error: Compilation aborted
   make[1]: *** [lazarus] Error 1
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bobb/freepascal/cvs/lazarus'
   make: *** [ide] Error 2

I tried linking the "units/i386-linux" directory to "units/linux":
   ln -s /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.9/units/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.9/units/linux
But "make install" failed the same old way.

I had a look at the install destination with "make fpc_baseinfo":
   Install base dir..... share/lazarus
   Install binary dir... /usr/local/bin
   Install library dir.. /usr/local/lib
   Install units dir.... share/lazarus/units/linux/lazarus
   Install source dir... /usr/local/share/src/fpc-1.9.9/lazarus
   Install doc dir...... /usr/local/share/doc/fpc-1.9.9/lazarus
   Install example dir.. /usr/local/share/doc/fpc-1.9.9/lazarus/examples
   Install data dir..... share/lazarus
Changing lazarus/Makefile.fpc "[install]" entry from:
   fpcpackage=n
   basedir=share/lazarus
to:
   fpcpackage=n
   dirprefix=/usr/local
then running fpcmake -w -Ti386-linux cleaned up the obvious errors, giving:
   Install base dir..... /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.9
   Install binary dir... /usr/local/bin
   Install library dir.. /usr/local/lib
   Install units dir.... /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.9/units/i386-linux/lazarus
   Install source dir... /usr/local/share/src/fpc-1.9.9/lazarus
   Install doc dir...... /usr/local/share/doc/fpc-1.9.9/lazarus
   Install example dir.. /usr/local/share/doc/fpc-1.9.9/lazarus/examples
   Install data dir..... /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.9
But "make install" still fails.

I'm about out of ideas - will update from cvs again now.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
