I have no own build but the sources. Reading the FAQ it should work to
cd to .../rtl/unix, build with -gl, and afterwards install the new ppu
to the same location as the compiler.

I'd like better if I could switch a standard version and a debugging
version of the RTL. If it works in general this could be done by some
conditionals in .fpc.cfg, I think.

Where I'm not sure is if the build RTL build and install works the same
as for lazarus packages.

I'll try.
