Ah, yes, it was looking for "i386-win32-windres"

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  23 Jul 16 16:11 /usr/bin/windres -> i686-pc-mingw32-windres

On my mac, /usr/bin/windres is actually a symbolic link to i686-pc-mingw32-windres, but after 
adding the i386-win32-windres symbolic link, lazarus cross-builds with success !

The "C:lazarus" directory is a cross-installation problem, of course, I will look at that next.
