[fpc-pascal] Cross compiling Linux to OS X

[Torsten Bonde Christiansen]

Hi all.

I recently update from fpc 3.0.0 to 3.0.4 (yes, a little late i know...) 
for our range of application. In order to simplify our build i have a VM 
with linux running on it and in there i had it setup to crosscompile fra 
Linux -> Win32/Win64/Linux32/Darwin-i386.

But after the upgrade I can no longer cross-compile the fpc sources to 
Darwin. I get a linking error that I suspect is related to an old 
version of binutil (see below for the complete message).

Now my question is if there is someone on the list that has a setup 
where you can successfully build fpc to cross compile from linux -> mac 
os x. The guide on the wiki is very outdated so there is not a lot of 
help to get from there. I can still use the build command below on the 
sources for 3.0.0, so the previous approach i had seems to still be working.

Best regards
Torsten.
