All of our compiler binaries start with ppc. The PowerPC compiler is ppcppc.

And we don't *want* to ship that as clang provides nice installers themselves.

Compiling the cross-compiler (Win32 hosted) is no problem using the fullcycle target (obviously, I could build just the particular compiler for AArch64 instead of all of them, but that isn't important) - so far so good. However, it already fails when trying to build the aarch64-win64 rtl using this cross-compiler, because the compiler complains about missing assembler aarch64-win64-clang.exe. Do we provide (compiled) win32 or win64 hosted binutils providing support for aarch64-win64 target? FWIW, I checked the contrib directory on our FTP, but didn't find anything useful in this regard there either. In order to check that, I downloaded your "cross-installer" mentioned above, but it contains win32 hosted builds of binutils named x86_64-win64-*.exe, i.e. supposedly aimed at targetting Win64 on x86_64, but not usable together with the included ppca64.exe binary (because the included ppca64.exe binary is a native compiler for aarch64-win64, whereas the binutils only run under win32/win64; moreover, they do not fit the subdirectory bin/aarch64-win64/ included in the .tar.gz file). And just as a funny fact, the included x86_64-win64-objdump.exe does not even recognize the AArch64 architecture ;-) (tried with the ppca64.exe binary) - not surprisingly, because it's version 2.26 compiled in January 2016. Conclusion: 1) Packaging of the "cross-installer" mentioned above should be revised (specifically, the binutils should be replaced with something more appropriate). 2) We should provide the appropriate cross-binutils, otherwise even suggesting people to compile the ppca64.exe compiler from trunk/main FPC themselves doesn't help much. 3) It might be time for updating the provided Win32 binutils as well - version 2.28 of objdump included with the latest release of FPC (and also included in the fpcbuild repository in both the win32 and win64 subdirectories under install/) doesn't support/recognize the AArch64 architecture yet.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Cross-compiler for ARM64 on Windows available?
Hello, this is normally a native aarch64-win64 compiler, not a cross-compiler package to be installed on linux. Note however that, as stated below, this was never tested. It will also not run on a Windows XP, unless you have an aarch64-windows_XP, but I am not aware of the existence of such machines.
