That is what I was trying to do.

In fact Lazarus provides settings for OS and Arch to be used. But I did 
not get this to work at that time.

Configuring a remote debugger for Lazarus is even harder.

There are two possible ways to do that: "remote gdb" and using the 
normal gdb on the target and connecting via SSH.

Remote gdb:
  - I had not been able to create the gdb (x85) / gdbserver(ARM) pair 
(not an fpc issue at all)
  - I read that remote gdb does not allow for manually stopping a 
running program under debug if no breakpoint is reached (so it does not 
seem very desirable)

SSH:
There is code for this in Lazarus, but it is commented out. I did not 
have enough spare time to take a deeper look at that.

So we (me and a nice guy from Vienna who already started to write a 
documentation on Lazarus cross compiling and remote debugging, which I 
promised to translate into English) gave up.
