And it will be called ppcrossarm (because it's a cross-compiler,  
rather than a native compiler).

To make it clear: the above command will create a non-EABI ARM little  
endian compiler, using the FPA floating point unit. If you want to use  
softfloat, add OPT="-Cfsoft". Moreover, if you (the original poster)  
intend to target an ARM-EABI platform, I would strongly recommend to  
use FPC 2.3.1 instead, because 2.2.4 contains quite a few bugs for  
those platforms. When using 2.2.x, at the very least you also have to  
add -O- to the OPT parameters.
