Hmmm, Carl-Eric Codere maintains the Amiga port so he
should answer, but I'll try :)

I don't think so.

But if you've a as/ld for AmigaOS, it should be enough.
You can compile on i386 linux/win32 or whatever.

1. Get 1.0.7 via cvs
2. make cycle in the 1.0.7 compiler dir
3. del *.ppw (or *.ppu)
4. make CPU_TARGET=m68k

At this point you've a ppc68k, i.e. a fpc with m68k as target.

5. Now switch to fixes/rtl/amiga and do a
    make PP=c:\fpc\fixes\compiler\ppc68k OPT=-s
    then you get a couple of .asm and .as files. Move them
    to the amiga and assemble them there.

6. Go back fixes/compiler
7. renanme ppc68k.exe to pp.exe
8. do a make PP=c:\fpc\fixes\compiler\pp CPU_TARGET=m68k OS_TARGET=amiga OPT=-s
9. now you get another couple of .asm files, move them again to the amiga,
    assemble them with a GNU AS for Amiga and link them together to a amiga 
hosted pp.
