/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.1/samplecfg: fpcmkcfg: not found
# ls /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.1
fpmkinst  msg  ppcarm  samplecfg  units
# ls /usr/local/bin
fpc  fpc.d  fpc-filter-vt  mkarmins  mkx86ins  ppcarm  ppcarm-3.0.1 
ppudump  ppufiles  ppumove

..but appears OK with a standard fpc.cfg.

Has problems rebuilding 3.0.0 rc1 from source:

/bin/mv -f ppcarm ppc2
make 'FPC=/usr/local/src/fpc/fpcbuild-3.0.0-rc1/fpcsrc/compiler/ppc2' 
'OLDFPC=/usr/local/src/fpc/fpcbuild-3.0.0-rc1/fpcsrc/compiler/ppc1' next 
CYCLELEVEL=3

That happens several times until the make bombs. Original command line was

make OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 NO_GDB=1 OPT='-V3.0.1 -dFPC_ARMHF -O- -gl
