As the creator of the bootstrap compiler I would like to add some details:
- The package system, where the bootstrap compiler is used, is fink.
- completely unsupported means: no support by core members, just me ;-)

Second, i recommend to read Marco’s hints at: 
http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf

For bootstrapping you should start with:     make cycle PP=…

That should give you the compiler, the rtl and the utils. After installing the 
three (make compiler_install rtl_install util_install), a make all should 
succeed.

Another option without make cycle is to pass the path to data2inc to make.

The work around for your case should be:

make all PP=… DATA2INC=/Users/torsten/FreePascal/release_2_6_4/utils/data2inc

Make install may also need fpcmake:

make install PP=… 
FPCMAKE=/Users/torsten/FreePascal/release_2_6_4/utils/fpcm/fpcmake
