The error message does not agree with your exported value of PP, so
something else is messing up. An alternative to the export command is to
specify the path to the compiler as a parameter to make, similar to the
rest of the parameters you pass to make.  To troubleshoot use the info
command for make to see how the various variables are configured:

make info PP=/home/user/fpc304/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64

If the compiler is found, it should be reported as the first line printed
after == Configuration info ==
