Now you set the compiler (in Lazarus) to C:\FPC\2.5.1\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe and switch the target architecture/OS in the project options depending on your needs - the 32bit fpc.exe will then either invoke the 32bit ppcx86.exe to compile for 32bit, or the 32bit ppccrossx86_86.exe to compile for 64bit.

Well, I thought that cross-compile would add complexity, but I will try.

But and Lazarus?
It still continue 32-bit, right? What about the LCL, I do not have
compile Lazarus for create the ppu for 64-bit and to create the
x86_64-win64 directories?
