I had asked the same some time ago and the historic reason was that
especially the system unit was considered too different to have both of
them be the same target... I don't agree either, but that's how it is... :/

OK so the earlier statement was not strictly true, and I do need an fpc
build which has been build with the cross compiler. This seems to be
missing from the distro pkg which is why I got myself several days work
trying to set this up from trunk.
This is all made more complicated by having to keep the distro fpc to
build trunk.
Now I have two different version , with trunk being able to cross
compile a win64 exe of my hello.pas.
This seems fine from command line but when I try to use Lazarus to with
project options specifying a Win64 target , it fails to find system.ppu
and friends. The project builds and runs native.
HINT: using config file /etc/fpc.cfg
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: system.ppu
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: objpas.ppu
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: sysutils.ppu
Laz does seem to be sending the right args to fpc ( presumably to fpc )
Info: (lazarus) Execute Title="Test: Compiling an empty file"
Info: (lazarus) Working Directory="/tmp/"
Info: (lazarus) Executable="/usr/bin/fpc"
Info: (lazarus) Param[0]="-Twin64"
Info: (lazarus) Param[1]="-Px86_64"
Info: (lazarus) Param[2]="-MObjFPC"
Info: (lazarus) Param[3]="-Scghi"
Info: (lazarus) Param[4]="-O1"
I had to move the trunk libs to /usr/lib64 to be in the same place as
the distro files and thus agree with fpc.cfg settings.
I am wondering whether this non-std position of the libs is highlighting
a a bug in Lazarus assuming /usr/lib . It seems odd that command line
fpc works but laz fails to find the libs.
Can you make any sense of this?
thx
