Suggest you read these links - but from memory this is what you do. As was said 
before the utils are not included in snapshots- usually it's just the minimum 
there. 

A) you need to download the latest go32v2 release which is 2.0.2 eg from 
ftpmaster.freepascal.org or another ftp site, from 
/pub/fpc/dist/i386-go32v2-2.0.2/ 

You then install this, and this gives you the correct version of all of the gnu 
utils you need and the released compiler that's used to start the make. The 
utils include make & ld - some others are used in the make too   

B) Then you download the latest v2.1 source from 
/pub/fpc/snapshot/v21/source/fpc.zip & unzip it into a suitable directory, or 
get latest sources from svn if you can use it. Then, with the utils from step A 
in your path you do the 'make cycle' in ...\compiler & away you go. As was 
explained before, the makefiles are generated in fpc by another program and are 
included in the source...  

Of course you can use B for making the latest v2.0 (ie v2.0.3) as well, with 
suitable directory name change above to v20... 

BTW a new release 2.0.4, with a load of bug fixes, updates, is being prepared 
for release within next weeks - we are currently on rc2.   

Let us know if there are any problems & we may be able to use these to fix 
problems in the documentation for 2.0.4.
