So I have found that this is a path forward:

FPCTAG=release_3_2_2
FPCVER=3.2.2
LAZTAG=lazarus_2_2_4
LAZVER=2.2.4

...

cd $HOME/devel/fpc
wget
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/archive/$FPCTAG/source-$FPCTAG.tar.gz
tar -xvf source-$FPCTAG.tar.gz
mv source-$FPCTAG $FPCVER
rm source-$FPCTAG.tar.gz

cd $HOME/devel/lazarus
wget
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/archive/$LAZTAG/lazarus-$LAZTAG.tar.gz
tar xvf lazarus-$LAZTAG.tar.gz
mv lazarus-$LAZTAG 2.2.4
rm lazarus-$LAZTAG.tar.gz

This brings over just the sourcefiles for fpc and lazarus into the correct
directories with no extra stuff.

Then the remainder of my install script should work (not yet done though).
