Binutils

In most cases of cross-compiling from one platform to another you need cross binutils, i.e. assembler, linker, and so on.

If they are not readily available for your combination of host and target platform, you can compile them from the sources from their home page (http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/).

This is a quite typical configure for the binutils, in particular useful together with fpc:

 ./configure --target=arm-linux \
 --prefix=/usr/local/lib/arm-linux \
 --bindir=/usr/local/bin --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --infodir=/usr/local/share/info \
 --program-prefix=arm-linux \
 --disable-werror

for unixoid targets the options target and prefix are fairly straight forward, but not for others.

List of options:

Platform	Target	Prefix
Windows (32 bit)	i386-mingw32	i386-win32
Win CE (Intel)	i386-wince	i386-wince
Win CE (arm)	arm-wince-pe	arm-wince
Solaris	?	?
Mac OS X (Intel)	i386-darwin	i386-darwin
Mac OS X (PowerPC)	powerpc-darwin	powerpc-darwin
IPhoneOS	arm-darwin?	arm-darwin?
arm-gba	?	arm-gba
arm-nds	?	arm-nds
arm-embedded	?	?
arm-symbian	?	?
