This is so, but it does not have to be a problem: you must not recompile
lazarus itself using such a secondary copy.

Since Lazarus recompiles itself when one installs a new package, how
can I deal with that?

Always make sure you do this with the default.


The compiler executable was set in Lazarus to "fpc" i.e. no path at
all.
I changed it to /home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.0/compiler/ppcarm
Is this the correct way to do it?

Yes.


Lazarus help/about still says FPC is version 3.0.4 (I guess it knows
which version compiled it)..

Yes.


Is there a way I can verify if the settings are modified correctly and
the new fpc is in use for this Lazarus invocation?

Compile a program

begin
writeln({$I %FPCVERSION});
end.

and check the output.

Michael.
