Another option, not perfect, but doanle, is to use --primary-config-path
You could have to shortcuts / two startup scripts, passing a diff config 
directory to lazarus. Each would have one of the rtl-path in it's 
enviroment conf.

It does mean to restart lazarus, in order to build releases (or start a 
2nd instance).

Alternatively, you may be able to swap you fpc.cfg file, while lazarus 
is running, the next compile should pick up the new config.
