Albert,
Understood.
We are talking here of an installation of Gentoo in CoLinux.
The Linux Root Partition exists within a 4Gig File on my XP harddrive.
And that is backed up on a DVD.
I am really not worried about breaking my Gentoo install; all I need to
do is wipe the file and replace it.
The /home partition DOES exist as a seperate partition, so all my
information should remain intact.

I also use Lazarius via subversion and only installed it locally in my
home-folder, because I don't like the GTK2 version of Lazarus much (as
it is not stable). I also want to have write access to it to recompile
it time from time (for testing something and so on) and this is
against the idea to have an application installed in the system (no
user account on a system should never have write access to any
globally installed software).
But I use FPC via Portage, because it is stable from there. I wanted
to point out the thing with the USE flags, because it seems to me,
that you haven't understood this in detail. Perhaps I have
missinterpreted this, but if not, take a look at this technic. You
don't need to have some unclean installation of FPC in your system
(every Gentoo user don't like unclean installations not using Portage,
because the advantage of Gentoo is the cleanness of the system you got
(if you don't break some basic rules and one of these rules is: never
install anything not using Portage)).
