Can I install FPC on Linux (Bionic) ppc64le using apt?

Maybe not with APT, since there is no "official" .deb files (for any
platform, in fact) but installing from the fpc-3.2.0.powerpc-linux.tar
tarball should be as easy as untarring it somewhere and running the
included install.sh, as in almost any other Linux.

Or use fpcupdeluxe, set path and click on button "FPC only"

For ppc64le the correct tarball is fpc-3.2.0.powerpc64le-linux.tar,
powerpc is for 32-bit PowerPC BigEndian and powerpc64 is for 64-bit
PowerPC BigEndian.

Thanks. I will try fpc-3.2.0.powerpc64le-linux.tar and report later.
