You may edit your fpc.cfg for your different target using an IFDEF/ENDIF 
pair.

Under Linux I have in my home directory a .fpc.cfg sort of:

#include /etc/fpc.cfg  <--- to get all the defaults
#IFDEF CPUARM
---- here all the ARM specific paths and options
#ENDIF

That's the basic idea. All that's between #IFDEF -- #ENDIF is ignored 
when you're *not* cross-compiling.
All that's between #IFDEF -- #ENDIF overrides the previous settings when 
you're cross-compiling
