It's not broken.
As jonas said, make install is used a lot to install a new version, 
but that doesn't mean you want to make it the default version.
Do not forget that using makefiles implies that you already 
have a working version.
But maybe we can add a
make distinstall
target (target name debatable) on the FPC root directory that calls
make -C compiler installsymlink
which would then proceed to do what you want on unix systems. 
If the make info or help mentions this, it should be OK.
Michael.
