It's possible, but it's not really simple. Some steps: get cygwin install some stuff like gcc, flex, bison, binutils-source, iconv configure binutils with --target i386-linux and --prefix ~/somewhere open bottle of wine build binutils drink bottle of wine (essential step) binutils will be finished building now and you should have i386-linux-* in prefix/bin build fpc rtl and packages with OS_TARGET=linux, making sure you your new cross binutils are on the path (learn that fpc cygwin.dll isn't compatible with i386-linux-ld, copy dll around and shuffle path) ??? profit! It may be better building the whole compiler for the latest version of cygwin, but I'll see if I can scrape together the necessary files you can drop into your fpc bin directory for this to work (not that many). I managed to get a simple writeln app to cross compile and run on linux.
