One of problem is that you're calling "ppc386" which only exists on i386.  You 
should call "fpc" which will then call ppc386 on i386 and for instance fpcx64 
on amd64.

An other problem is that the there is an lib/common/kernel/i386-linux dir that 
doesn't seem to have anything i386 specific in it, it's probably not even Linux 
specific but more seems to be about X11.  As far as I can see that should work 
on any arch in Debian.

But the real problem is that you need for instance a "libc" unit which only 
seems to exist for i386 in the fp-units-i386 package.  I have no idea why it's 
only present for i386, it shouldn't be that hard to port it to all arches.  I 
suggest you file a wishlist bug against the fpc package requesting support for 
more arches.
