I did not have a look at your patch. But this should not be necessary.

Fpmkunit supports Package-Variants. In principle you could add:

  AddPackageVariant('subarch', True);

to your fpmake.pp, and this package and all packages that depend on it 
will use sub-directories for each 'subarch'. To make it work in this 
case might need some work. (Also: it would be ideal to add the subarch 
to the rtl-package, but this one is not compiled using fpmake..._


It would be nice if we could use this mechanism to create the 
directory-structure you want.


An example is the lcl, with the different widgetsets. Have a look at 
lazarus/lcl/interfaces/fpmake.pp.

Joost.

1/2 year, so long? Also in case of fixies/point release ?
(my intuitive understanding was that it is question of automated
building process, when fixies branch is taken and binaries are
compiled/build)

Yes of course. On other side improvement is neverending process, so in
some point in time "decision" must be taken.
Probably this decision is based on some features, which must be
completed before releasing of new version can start ...

Release engineering takes half a year. We prefer to use that time to squash
more bugs and improve the compiler and libraries.

It would be nice have at least one maintenance release per year.
Also some Database related bugs can be merged if there will be 3.0.6
(of course I understand, that compiler related features, asked by
African Dog will not be merged)
