This is as designed.

The symlink is only installed with the installsymlink make target in the compiler directory.

Why?

Because "make install" is often used to install development versions of FPC, and the you don't necessarily want it to change the default compiler version at the same time.

This means that "make install" is effectively broken as the symlink is essential for the compiler to work.

It is not essential, you can always call it explicitly via e.g. /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.0/ppc386
