I would like to cross compile Pascal to the AVR microcontroller series. My 
specific target is the AVR64DU32, but would want to be able to compile to other 
AVR architectures as well as to Texas Instruments MSP430 series. I understand 
that the processors even in a family have significant differences.
I have cloned the FPC source with

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source.git

and I have a nice set of files in ~/src/source. There I find a Makefile and a 
Makefile.fpc. I understand the Makefile is created by running fpcmake from the 
directory with the Makefile.fpc file. If I do that, how do I set it up for 
building a compiler that can do all of AVR, MSP430, and my desktop programs?
I have found in the makefile that I should probably do something like

fpcmake CROSSCOMPILE=1 CPU_TARGET=avr

to get the AVR architecture, but does that build an FPC that is specific to the 
AVR architecture only or will the compiler work for more than one target 
architecture?
I also found that for the GCC compiler I need the option -mmcu=x, where X is 
specific the the MCU. There I see -mmcu=avrxmega2 refers to the AVR64DU32. I 
also see the FPC doesn't handle all the specifier and AI tells me to use 
SUBARCH=avr25, but whether I put that into the fpcmake or make isn't clear.
Is it possible to have one FPC compiler that will compile to my native desktop 
architecture (Mac) and also compile to AVR or MSP430 with a command line option?
To check if all has gone well, what directories are the files and support files 
supposed to go?

Thanks,
Steve
