[fpc-pascal] Building trunk

[C Western]

The compiler I was starting with was obtained from a 3.0.4 release from 
the fpc website. Trying:

make distclean cycle OPT="-n" OS_TARGET=linux CPU_TARGET=i386 
FPC=~/fpc/bootstrap/ppcx64

goes further (or is it just different as it is a cross-compile?) but gives:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/me/fpc/trunk/fpcsrc/compiler'
/usr/bin/mkdir -p i386/units/i386-linux

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/me/fpc/trunk/fpcsrc/compiler'
make: *** [Makefile:4461: cycle] Error 2

The OS is Fedora 29, and I am reasonably certain a complete set of Gnu 
i386 tools are present.

I will try and generate a backtrace as suggested by Sven later.
