Strange. Under debian it was the other way. If both ppc386.cfg and fpc.cfg are there, ppc386.cfg is parsed. Hence, I had to remove ppc386.cfg.

The IDE will not change the default compiler config.
The IDE uses the codetools to get the compiler config.
The codetools do not read the compiler config file itself, but parses the output of a bogus compile with the verbose all option -va. This way you can install multiple compilers and start them via startscripts. The fpc-team can even change the name of the config file ;).
