"make install" never changed the default installed version on Unix-like platforms. To change that one, you indeed have to change the ppc386/ppcppc/ppcx64/... symlinks in /usr/local/bin to point to the version that you want to become default.

Alternatively, you can change the compiler binary that Lazarus uses in Tools->Options->Environment->Compiler path
