I have (for simplifying I use X86_64 to compile i386 as described in the 
wiki):
fpc 2.3.1 built from svn running on a Kubuntu X86_64 machine
(Source got via svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc)

I want:
compiling i386 binaries on that machine

I did (according to http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling):

created i386-linux-ld and i386-linux-as as described in the Wiki

cd /path-to-fpc-source-root/

make all CPU_TARGET=i386

I get:
Makefile:129: *** Compiler ppcross386 not found.

What I could not find was, how to create that ppcross386. I remember it 
worked with a previous 2.2.0 install, but since I switched to 2.3.1 I 
couldn't get it to work.

regards
Lukas
