[fpc-devel] Fpcupdeluxe utilities to share

[Alfred]

Hello to all,

As you might know, I am the maintainer of fpcupdeluxe.
Its a tool to install FPC and Lazarus. And to install cross-compilers.

Intro.

As part of fpcupdeluxe, binutils (and libs) are created/hosted to be 
able to cross-compile from various systems.
E.g. for Windows:
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.1
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.0
And also various bootstrappers:
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/bootstrappers_v1.0

Among other things, especially the binary utilities might be of interest 
for FPC.

Question.

Would it be an idea to host (part of these) fpcup[deluxe] utilities on 
the FPC ftp server for general use ?
These utilities could be used by many, with or without fpcupdeluxe.
At this moment, info about cross-compiling is very scattered, as are the 
tools needed.

Remark.

There could be more to share.
Aros: the collect-aros utility has been adapted to compile on Mac, Linux 
and Windows (mingw) to produce working Aros binaries on all these 
systems.
OpenBSD: the latest vanilla binutils (2.17) have been pimped to compile 
on all systems, including Windows.
More binutils for various systems have been adapted to compile on 
various systems.

Greetings.
