You're right, they are gone. It stil doesn't make sense why the compiler 
needs it. If you have an installed compiler, you don't have a FPCDIR so 
.... you can't set it.

Maybe you should install the compiler and point the ppc386.cfg to the 
installed units and not to a dir with sources.
You only get these kind of errors (while building lazarus) if the compiler 
for some reason wants to recompile a fpc unit. This recompilation only 
occours when both sources and ppus are found.
The way makefiules are setup now is based upon a release compiler (wo 
sources). So fpc units/packages never ever should be recompiled by building 
lazarus.
This also count for the other dirs.

Nope
