Questions:
1) Which platform are you trying to compile fpc on?
Linux, Windows. MacOs etc and which CPU (i386, armx64, 

2) Did you download the seed compiler 2.6.4 from somewhere?
The binary is needed as a bootstrap to build fpc 3.0.0

There is a readme here for how to build fpc:
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_3_0_0/compiler/README.txt

I am using these commands whenever I need to build fpc (all in Linux)
(the fpc version number changes of course):

mkdir /home/<username>/bin
cd /home/<username>/dev/fpc/3.0.0/
make clean
make all FPC=<path to seed compiler>
make install PREFIX=/home/<username>
make sourceinstall PREFIX=/home/<username>
/home/<username>/lib/fpc/3.0.0/samplecfg /home/<username>/lib/3.0.0
/home/<username>
mv /home/<username>/fpc.cfg /home/<username>/.fpc.cfg

The seed compiler for building 3.0.0 is the previous release 2.6.4
compiler. You only need the binary for that compiler during build of
fpc 3.0.0.
Maybe you can find the seed compiler here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Bootstrap/2.6.4/
