Thanks for adding that.
I wrote that wiki section this morning and was going to add your answer
tonight when I got home.
I reckon lazarus ought to use fpc by default?
And now I have been able to discover the final spell I need for the
cross compiler postinst, which will be some ifdef in fpc.cfg to add the
bintools prefix depending on the selected cpu/os; so if all goes well
we'll have simplified automated building of cross compiler debs.
I'll then re-work THAT so that the debian/* files are built as part of
make-dist (and the same for the spec file) to really simplify package
building. RPM guys will just need to do: rpm -tb fpc-tar.gz or something.
