This is normal, the file is located under pas2js/compiler/utils/pas2js/dist,
because it is tightly coupled to the compiler, not to the rtl.

I have a symlink in packages/rtl/ to this file.

Normally, the dependency is not necessary when compiling. 
The packages serve only for the IDE to find sources.

That it does not find the system unit means your self-compiled pas2js does not have a pas2js.cfg set up correctly.
You can copy the distributed version to the location of the binary  and adapt the paths.
