This is what happens when I execute the first make command inside the fpc source

I have checked that build-essentials are installed on this Ubuntu machine.

Where do I go from here?

FPC needs a previous version of FPC to bootstrap. So first install fpc
using apt-get on the VM.

While the answer from Jonas is obviously the simplest and most complete solution, there is an alternative workaround (not necessarily a fully guaranteed solution!) for your situation. The particular failing / missing command used by make is the fpc binary. If you have installed a bootstrap compiler _and_ if you try to perform a native build (not to build for a different CPU), you can run make with an additional parameter setting the variable "FPC" to the path of your compiler binary (e.g. 'make all "FPC=/usr/bin/ppcx64"').
