You should also have added to your script :

export FPCMAKE=/opt/fpc/base/makefile.fpc

then it should work.

If you've set FPCMAKE, then you don't have to copy the makefile.fpc. 
Just leave it in .../base/

I get all the stuff right from CVS, with compression, so it should also
work for you I guess. 

I think I also had to adjust or add the line
PROCINC=../rtl/i386
in the file /opt/fpc/fcl/Makefile
