Why do you think that a cross-compiler would not be able to create a runnable lazarus or compiler
executable? (I'm not sure what the "itself" refers to in the above sentence) And in case
you mean the compiler: under which circumstances does lazarus try to recompile the fpc source tree?
(its makefiles or "build lazarus" commands at least don't do that, afaik)
I know I harp on this repeatedly, but I use linux-i386 to build applications (and lazarus itself)
for i386-linux / i386-win32 / i386-darwin / powerpc-darwin. If you are getting broken executables
then your toolchain is broken. Freepascal and Lazarus are both very capable of working in a cross
compile environment.
