[fpc-pascal] Does the basic make INSTALL create ppcross386

again, make install does NOT create anything

no

cross assembler and linker for cross building, native (or integrated if
exists) assembler and linker otherwise, along with proper (unix-like) build
environment (make, cp, rm, pwd, install, etc.)

no, AFAIK only pwd checked as indicator of proper build environment
