It allows the caller to specify the location (AFAIK it can be a relative
path) of ppcxxx (the actual compiler). That option removes the need to
rely on env variables to specify the fpc and ppcxxx paths. It would be
enough to provide a qualified path in the IDE options for the fpc
executable, and coupled with a -Xp field, it would allow fpc to locate
the ppcxxx executable.
ex: ./fpc -h -Xp../lib/fpc/2.6.3
Sorry. I don't get it.
With this option I can select a ppcxxx executable. But I can
already select a ppc executable directly. So what do I gain?

You can't specify a ppcxxx executable directly if you cross compile.

Of course I can. I just need to specify the right ppcXXX executable.

I didn't mean it is not possible, but it is a hassle. You'll have to select at least the right ppcxxx and the right widgetset. Whereas if you specify the fpc executable, you can, with a single click, change targets (using build modes).
