Hello to all,

As you might know, I am the maintainer of fpcupdeluxe.
Its a tool to install FPC and Lazarus. And to install cross-compilers.

Intro.

As part of fpcupdeluxe, binutils (and libs) are created/hosted to be able to cross-compile from various systems.
E.g. for Windows:
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.1
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.0
And also various bootstrappers:
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/bootstrappers_v1.0

Among other things, especially the binary utilities might be of interest for FPC.

Question.

Would it be an idea to host (part of these) fpcup[deluxe] utilities on the FPC ftp server for general use ?
These utilities could be used by many, with or without fpcupdeluxe.
At this moment, info about cross-compiling is very scattered, as are the tools needed.

Problem with this is: as most of the utils is GPL, one has to track the sources and keep them available as well. I go this for my windows binutils collection. But for a lot of utils this is a difficult task.
