The only relevant thing for the compiler stored in the ~/.lazarus directory is the compiler path and the lazarus path. All other things should be in the .lpi file of the project.
Plz start Lazarus in a terminal and compile your project. You will see a line starting with
[TCompiler.Compile] CmdLine="/usr/bin/ppc386 ...
Plz send this line to this list, so the exact compiler parameters can be seen.
