VP Linux-support not fully implemented, but it should be possible
to generate Linux executables from Win32 or OS/2 (I haven't tested).
An official release of version 2.1 has priority - and hopefully
better Linux support will come next, as I've understood.

Is anyone using FPC to target executables to other plattforms
than what the compilers running - f.ex. developing under Linux
and generating executables for Linux AND Windows (from Linux)?
I know it's possible but some "adjustments" are needed (cross-
plattform linker or ....?).  This kind of setup is much wanted,
at least from me! ;-)
