Nice work!

I have build modes defined as default for new projects. Would this 
interfere with this update?

On the other hand, it seems that some options apply to all build modes 
irrespective of their enabled status. With Linux and Win32 build modes 
defined, compiling an empty project for Linux uses the following options:

  -MObjFPC -Scghi -O1 -Tlinux -g -gl -vewnhi -Filib/i386-linux 
-Fu/home/me/Programs/lazarus/lazarus-svn/lcl/units/i386-linux/win32 
-Fu/home/me/Programs/lazarus/lazarus-svn/lcl/units/i386-linux 
-Fu/home/me/Programs/lazarus/lazarus-svn/components/lazutils/lib/i386-linux 
-Fu/home/me/Programs/lazarus/lazarus-svn/packager/units/i386-linux -Fu. 
-FUlib/i386-linux/ -l -dLCL -dLCLwin32

and fails:
win32/win32wsdialogs.pp(32,3) Fatal: Can't find unit Windows used by 
Win32WSDialogs

Inherited for LCL:
unit path = 
/home/supra/Programs/lazarus/lazarus-svn/lcl/units/i386-linux/win32
custom options = -dLCL -dLCLwin32
LCLWidgetType = win32

Inherited for LCLBase, LazUtils, and FCL do not show win32 related stuff.
