No, never (unless the -Cn command line parameter is passed to the compiler)

I thought there was one somewhere on the wiki, but I can't find it anymore. Deleting the following files and directories should do it:
/usr/local/lib/fpc/
/usr/local/bin/fpcres
/usr/local/bin/fpcmkcfg
/usr/local/bin/fpcmake
/usr/local/bin/fpclasschart
/usr/local/bin/fpc
/usr/local/bin/fd2pascal
/usr/local/bin/delp
/usr/local/bin/data2inc

/etc/fpc.cfg

Possibly also ~/.fpc.cfg
