The general answer is that you can't create a symlink (or hard link) 
which looks different to different people, but on a single-user system 
there would seem no point trying. You /can/ obviously set up the target 
file to only be accessible to some users, but that's not quite the same 
thing.

Remember that rather than having a symlink you could easily set up a 
shell script in e.g. /usr/local/bin which is runnable by everybody but 
behaves differently based on the current user. However this is probably 
more complex than you need, although you might find something like a 
script to give lazarus an appropriate -pcp option depending on compiler 
version useful.
