I don't see that, all object and unit files are stored under compiler/ 
jvm/units/<fpchostplatform> here. I also don't understand how that can  
happen, because the name of the generated compiler binary is also  
"ppcjvm" and you can't have a file and a directory with the same name  
in a single directory.

I changed fpcmake so that the generated makefiles never pass -XP when  
targeting the JVM. However, if you compile normally and your /etc/ 
fpc.cfg is used, its standard logic to set the -XP parameter based on  
the fact that you are cross-compiling will still be triggered. I  
haven't modified samplecfg/fpcmkcfg yet to prevent that from happening  
in newly generated config files though.
