Yes, for example make install INSTALL_PREFIX=~/2.6.2 installs to
~/2.6.2/lib/fpc/2.6.2
Which looks odd.

Maybe fpc should search for <dir of ppcxxx>/fpc.cfg.

Then maybe the current search for <dir of ppcxxx>/../etc/fpc.cfg can be
removed. Only a few people use it and they will probably be happy to
have more flexibility where to install fpc.
