Hmmm. What is in your /etc/ppc386.cfg file ?

I have something like

-------------- 8< ----------------
#IFDEF VER0_99_10
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/0.99.10/linuxunits
#ENDIF
#IFDEF VER0_99_11
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/0.99.11/linuxunits
#ENDIF
-------------- 8< ----------------

You should have something like this to make sure
that each compiler finds the correct units.

You also may want to mke separate links for each compiler.
In /usr/bin do the following:

ln -sf /usr/lib/fpc/0.99.10/ppc386 ppc386-0.99.10
ln -sf /usr/lib/fpc/0.99.11/ppc386 ppc386-0.99.11
ln -sf /usr/lib/fpc/0.99.11/ppc386

( I assume you installed in /usr/lib/fpc/0.99.XX )
This is what I have on my machine.
(plus some additional ones, of course)

Now, compiling is simply a matter of
  ppc386-0.99.xx  file.pp
if you want version 0.99.xx, and you can do a
  ppc386 file.pp
to compile with the default version. (0.99.11, in the above case)
