This does not install the new compiler, so I used the compiler/ppcx64
exe directly to compile a program.

I see in the -va output:
[0.008] Hint: Start of reading config file /etc/fpc-unicodertl.cfg
[0.008] Handling option "-dUNICODERTL"
[0.008] Interpreting option "-dUNICODERTL"
[0.008] Macro defined: UNICODERTL
[0.008] Handling option "-Municodestrings"
[0.008] Interpreting option "-Municodestrings"
[0.008] Macro defined: FPC_UNICODESTRINGS
[0.008] Macro defined: UNICODE
[0.008] Hint: End of reading config file /etc/fpc-unicodertl.cfg

But then it uses the wrong unit paths:
[0.012] Using unit path: /usr/lib/fpc/3.3.1/units/x86_64-linux/httpd22/

It should be:

[0.012] Using unit path:
/usr/lib/fpc/3.3.1/units/x86_64-linux-unicodertl/rtl/

My /etc/fpc.cfg contains:

# searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/rtl
