Pfffff..... found it :-)

When fpcmake (version 20010815) tries to write a Package.fpc file it wants 
to check all platforms (it hasn't this behaviour when writing Makefiles, 
which I used to check).
When searching for Package.fpc it looks in the lib/fpc/1.0.5 dir and the 
lib/fpc/1.0.5/units/[platform] dir. The tar.gz with the missing Package.fpc 
files was extracted in the lib/fpc/1.0.5/units/linux dir, so when writing 
the package file it wants also to have a rtl/Package.fpc in the go32v2 dir 
(and all other platform dirs).
That was where your missing rtl error was from.

Solution:
* Remove all Package.fpc files from the lib/fpc/1.0.5/units/linux/* dirs
   (in the dir: rm `find -name Package.fpc`)
* Extract the missing packages tag.gz in the lib/fpc/1.0.5 dir.

By trying to fix this problem I ran into a fpcmake bug (?)
When there is a Package.fpc in both lib/fpc/1.0.5/[package] and 
lib/fpc/1.0.5/units/[platform]/[package], fpcmake also reports an error of 
a missing [package]. Somehow internally it returns both dirs as one.
