This is where I believe MSEide does things much better that Lazarus,
but that's for another discussion.

In Lazarus under "Tools -> Options... -> Compiler executable" I have a
drop-down list of frequently used compilers versions. They all look
as follows - just with the version in the path being different.

  /data/devel/fpc-3.2.0/x86_64-linux/bin/fpc


My ~/bin/fpc always point to the latest stable FPC version, but I hardly
ever use it (maybe only for occasional command line compilation of small
test programs). My IDEs always explicitly define which FPC executable I want
to use. My IDEs never reference the one in ~/bin/
