The IDE only checks the dates of the fpc.cfg and the
compiler executable. This means installation of a new compiler is
recognized, but changes only to the ppu files are not recognized.

Checking that every time would take some time, especially under
windows. Since only experts do the above and experts don't want slow
down, I think it makes no sense to implement that.

If you compile the FCL/RTL via a script you could remove the file
lazarus/packager/units/cpu-os/FCL.compiled.
Because normally every package uses that one, the IDE will
recompile all packages.
