Not really, I tend to instal the latest version now and then and so I
build up a library of older versions, which I don't use anymore...
So I will remove them shortly, but first install 2.0.2 as you
suggested.

Is there a cross-compiler which allows building the programs for Linux
too (Linux running on the same CPU)?
Maybe also for Linux on ARM (Raspberry Pi)?

Currently I install Lazarus/FPC on the linux machines and then I use
Subversion to get the sources over to Linux and build there. It would
be more convenient to be able to build the tools in my main
environment and use on Linux by moving the binary over.
