So I have now retired the Lazarus old source dir (rename to 2.2.6.bak).
Then I expanded the source tgz file yet again to get the *clean* Lazarus release
2.2.6 sources from GitLab into my system. It was expanded into a directory named
2.2.6.

Now I still get the same error when I try to do the make clean operation.

~/devtools/lazarus/2.2.6 $ make clean
make: -iVSPTPSOTO: No such file or directory
Makefile:234: *** The Makefile doesn't support target -, please run fpcmake
first.  Stop.

Check compiler:
~/devtools/lazarus/2.2.6 $ fpc
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.2 [2023/11/29] for arm

~/devtools/lazarus/2.2.6 $ ppcarm
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.2 [2023/11/29] for arm
Copyright (c) 1993-2021 by Florian Klaempfl and others

So there is an fpc/ppcarm compiler available on path and it starts OK without
arguments so the version can be checked.

Still with this fresh source tree and a working fpc compiler it throws this
strange error...

Why and how to fix?
