Hmmm,
I thought that the previous lines created the new FPC compiler, which
we want to install. The added FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm" will use the seed
compiler rather than the one created by the previous make as far as I
understand and that is not what we want.

For others below are the affected lines (with the error exception code
removed). Note that the seed compiler is located at "$FPCDIR/ppcarm"
and the cd command moves to the top of the checked out FPC code by
version number.

echo "------- Building fpc and lazarus --------"
echo "Building and installing version $FPCVER of FPC"
cd "$FPCDIR/$FPCVER"
make clean
make all FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm" OPT="$OPTIONS"
make install OPT="$OPTIONS" PREFIX=/home/pi

So what will be the difference when using the above compared to:

make install FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm" OPT="$OPTIONS" PREFIX=/home/pi

I will have to make a test next time I have a blank RPi3 to install
on. That could happen with FPC 3.0.2 now being released.

What command(s) gives you this information?
