Good idea.
Another solution is to create a script which changes the $PATH env 
variable and launches lazarus. That way, you will use the utils of the 
FPC version in question. On the other hand, Symlinks can become orphaned 
once FPC versions are added and deleted.

I am not sure what's going on, but I have found 2 bugs in the IDE which 
could be the partial cause of this havoc:
