Use the compiler option, for example:

lazbuild --compiler=/usr/lib/fpc/3.2.0/ppcx64 pasls.lpi

The CodeToolBoss actually keeps a cache of files which are loaded at
the 'textDocument/didOpen' notification. When the user changes text at
the client side, even without saving, a 'textDocument/didChange'
notification is sent which is used to update the cache. The
CodeToolBoss seems to only use the file path as identifier, but the
contents of the files and changes are provided by the client.
