Then what about creating a feature request? :)

I just tested it. You can do that, but the order might be important 
(depends on the options you use). I did the following test on a 
i386-linux system:

==== fpc1.cfg ====
-Twin32
====

==== fpc2.cfg ====
-Fu/mnt/data/applications/fpc/2.5.1/lib/fpc/2.5.1/units/$fpctarget/rtl
====

==== call 1 ====
fpc -n @fpc1.cfg @fpc2.cfg test.pas
====

==== call 2 ====
fpc -n @fpc2.cfg @fpc1.cfg test.pas
====

In call 1 FPC compiles test.pas successfully as a Win32 application. In 
call 2 FPC raises an error, because fpc2.cfg is read first and while 
reading the $fpctarget is replaced with "i386-linux" (the current 
target) and then fpc1.cfg is set where the target is set to Win32. Thus 
compiler searches in the i386-linux unit directory for i386-win32 ppus 
(and thus complains that system.pp was compiled for the wrong target).
