I did know, and am pretty OK with the fpc makefiles.

No, I don't.

Wow.  A lot of text here.  The best I can work out is its building
syslinux.pp because it isn't there.  Presumably it should have been build
earlier, like in new_ppc (from the howto:)

cd /opt/fpc
mv -f ppc386.release ppc386
rm -f units/linux/*
cd compiler
make cycle
cd ../rtl/linux
mv *.o /opt/fpc/units/linux/
mv *.ppu /opt/fpc/units/linux/
cd /opt/fpc
mv ppc386 ppc386.release
cp compiler/ppc386 .

So if this doesn't make a syslinux.pp what will?

The difficulty is not the "problem" but that I am following the howto step
by step and it doesn't work.
