fpc below 1.9 (e.g. 1.0.x) created .ppw files for the win32 target and .ppu
for linux. That's why you can to put them both into one directory.
OTOH fpc 1.9+ creates .ppu files for both, so you need to split up. That's
what vincent suggested in the
feature request: compiled units in target  dependantdirectory
thread.
This will be done in a few days, as soon as everyone agree on it.

But this solution will only handle the LCL. For your programs it means you
need also some macros for the unit output dir. This will be described in the
wikis. Hopefully in a few days.
