You are tweaking your system unnecessarily. Just make sure that both
folder paths are exported and forget about any symlinks. That's by
far more flexible, easily upgradeable, and less prone to errors.
Executing `fpc -V<versionstr>` will call <ppcbin>-<versionstr>, so those
symlinks are actually quite useful if you want to use different compiler
versions.
That's one way for sure, but I'd rather keep my different installs
separate and either export the right paths or use the Xp switch.
Btw, are the Xp and V switches documented? fpc does not list them and
they cannot be found in
