But it has its own set of problems. I'm not really dedicated enough,
but I never managed to cross-compile complex projects (by "complex" I
mean "with various dependencies on external libraries").
Native is so much easier....once you get the ball rolling (but then
the same could be said for cross-compiling)
Anyway, it seems that an emulated arm machine, while slower than
cross-compiling, is faster than the real arm hardware.
I just assume that when trying to make FP and GDB and Lazarus run
natively on ARM you are on your own, while cross compiling for ARM-Linux
is a supported option on Lazarus and thus the "powers than be" should be
interested on helping you top make it work perfectly. It's a mixture of
"ARM-CE" (i.e. the compiler, which already seems to work quite well) and
native Linux (the libraries, which do work nicely).
