The second is actually
<directory of ppcx64>/../etc/fpc.cfg

So, fpc first searches a user config, then a "flavor" config (e.g. one
per version) and the last is the global config.

When installing multiple version of fpc you normally get
/usr/(local/)lib/fpc/2.6.2/ppcx86
/usr/(local/)lib/fpc/2.7.1/ppcx86

Because of the '..' in <>/../etc/fpc.cfg the version vanished in the
search. So by default you can not have one fpc.cfg per fpc version.
I played with this in 1.9.2 times iirc.

IIRC the principle was developed for cases where every version installed
into a prefix with make INSTALL INSTALL_PREFIX=~/somethingversion.  (so that
you also had multiple bin directories and everything was fully separated).

That's the method I use. My installs are as follows:

bin folder: <basefpcfolder>/$(FPCVER)/bin
ppc folder: <basefpcfolder>/$(FPCVER)/lib/fpc/$(FPCVER)

fpc -V also is from that time.
