I agree that the best option would be to use the -V and -P options of fpc.
But, for this, it would be best if fpc can list the available versions and
architectures/cross-compilers.
Assuming that list of supported FPC installations should be configurable
by the user in Lazarus settings, listing of versions wouldn't be necessary
(it would be incomplete anyway in many cases). I see no use for -V in this
use case either (due to differences between global and local installations
and also installations in non-standard places). I believe that -Xp should
cover everything needed (at least as long as that parameter is supported
by the installed FPC version; if not, invoking fpc with a modified PATH
would be my suggested solution).
I think you are wrong.
-Xp is there for the case you have a special setup.
-V is there for standard installations, so you don't need to know the paths.
I think it is by far preferable to use the latter.
If you're not going to use/encourage it, you'd better remove it altogether.
