I suspect your problem is related to this feature request:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30294

Note that you probably don't need two different cross compilers if your
cpu-OS target is the same, only two different versions of the RTL (and
perhaps packages) in a way that enables the compiler to pick the correct
version.  For avr-embedded I change the unit output folder name to
avr-embedded-SUBARCH and add the subarch macro to fpc.cfg.  For arm you may
also need to handle different ABI versions (I don't cross compile for arm).
