Honestly I had some problems to understand the mechanism in this, 
however, giving that command suppose that you have a  "/path/to/ppc386" 
somewhere, and I hadn't.
I copyed the binary of my other 32 bit server in the 64 bit server, in 
the path: /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.1/ppc386
And I did, as you said, a:
make all FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.1/ppc386 CPU_SOURCE=i386

That seemed to work, it compiled everything, but now I suppose I have to 
do a "make install"...

But both:
make install CPU_TARGET=i386
make install CPU_SOURCE=i386

Gives errors.

Where is the created ppc386 file?
With I locate I find it there: 
/home/siteland/lazarus/FPC_2.2.1/compiler/ppc386

And /home/siteland/lazarus/FPC_2.2.1/ is the "root" path of my compilation.

Should I use that as new fpc-compiler for my 32 bit projects?
