FPC have at the moment the tag -XP to provide prefix for mostly cross

I think that there should be also something like -XSU (-XS already
taken) to
provide suffix for binutils.
For example, in my Arch Linux that is 64 bit, the 32 bit binutils have
"ld86" and "as86",
As far as I can tell, as86 is something different from a 32 bit
version of GNU as. It's an assembler for Intel-style assembler that
also supports 16 bit code: http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Assembly-HOWTO/as86.html
It's used while compiling the Linux kernel and probably also for
things like GRUB, which are called from the BIOS when the system is
still in 16 bit real mode.
