[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#845498: /usr/bin/fpc-3.0.0: Provide cross-compilers

[Ben Longbons]

Package: fp-compiler-3.0.0
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg-9
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/fpc-3.0.0

Dear Maintainer,

According to `fpc -help`,
-P<x>      Set target CPU (arm,avr,i386,jvm,m68k,mips,mipsel,powerpc,powerpc64,sparc,x86_64)

However, if I try any of those besides the current CPU, I get:

Error: ppc386 can't be executed, error message: Failed to execute "ppc386", error code: 127

(note: while, multiarch would work for x86_64 -> i386, it won't work for
anything else, so you really do need a native ppc386 binary, etc)

You'll probably have to also tell it to use ${triple}-ld, etc.
