Ok, then add the following option: "BINUTILSPREFIX=" (there is no value 
after the "=", but ensure that there is a space to the next option if 
there is any)

I'm no Debian user, so I can't help you with this specific part.

You'll need to change Lazarus' compiler to the newly compiled trunk 
compiler. If you also built the normal linux one using "make all install 
..." you can point Lazarus to the directory which you passed in 
INSTALL_PREFIX (in the example C:\fpc\2.7.1) and add the remaining path 
to the fpc binary (on Windows "bin\i386-win32" on Linux just "bin"). 
Then you should be able to successfully set "Target CPU" in the compiler 
settings to Mips and confirm with OK.
