Skybuck,

thanks for the detailed guide. However, it was simpler than that...
with the help from the guys at #fpc, I got
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/mingw/mingwcross.zip

Unzipped that to <install>\cross, then got myself some linux libs
needed for the dynamic linker (libc.so.6 and friends) and finally
I'm able to cross-compile hello world
C:\pp\demo\text>fpc -Tlinux -FDc:\pp\cross\i686-linux -XPi686-linux-
 -Xd -Xc -Fl c:\crosskylix\lib hello.pp

This is with dynamic linking of libc as pthreads is going to be used.
The resulting binary is a valid dynamic ELF file:

root at wurst /home/scamp# ldd hello
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2aade000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x55555000)

So far so good. Sadly it segfaults:

root at chat5 /home/scamp# strace ./hello
execve("./hello", ["./hello"], [/* 26 vars */]) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Static linked binarys work fine, though. Now I only have to find out
why everything dynamically linked crashes.
