The compiler itself can compile for all platforms listed in help pages (those running on the same CPU). However, you need GNU tools (as & ld at least) for every target - some of them are pre-built for you and can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/. Alternatively, you can compile with "-s" parameter, which gives you the generated assembler code for your source files and scripts necessary to assemble&link somewhere where the right tools are available (like the target platform itself).
