The wiki needs correction: binutils should be built for cygwin and not 
mingw32 as cygwin is hardcoded for win32 in the script 
buildcrossbinutils.sh. It so happens, as Vincent pointed out, that 2.4.2 
did not need the binutils.

I rebuilt the cross binutils for cygwin and both FPC 2.4.2 and 2.5.1 
were crosscompiled successfully :)
