As Mattias suggested, read the wiki page to fully understand the issue 
(or non-issue).

Coming from a Delphi background (where developers can't rebuild the 
IDE), it must sound like a daunting task, but it fact it is no different 
to compiling your own projects. Lazarus IDE even includes a menu item in 
the "Tools" menu to help facilitate the process. Once you have done it a 
handful of times, it becomes a no-brainer. Plus it's not like you 
install new components every day either.
