FPC 3.0.4 is still the latest release and thus currently the only supported
compiler. In case of ppc64le you need to indeed cross compile though as
long as you have the binutils it's as simple as

make clean all CPU_TARGET=ppc64le BINUTILSPREFIX=ppc64le-elf- FPMAKEOPT="-T
N" - j N

Whereby you need to adjust BINUTILSPREFIX to whatever prefix your binutils
have and N to e.g. your number of cores.
