Using a cross-compiler to build GNU Pascal results in a compiler binary that runs on the cross-target platform. This is called "crossbuilding". A possible reason why anybody would want to do this, is when the platform on which you want to run the GNU Pascal compiler is not self-hosting. An example is mingw32.
To crossbuild GNU Pascal, you have to install a cross-compiler for your target first, see section 5.5 Building and Installing a cross-compiler.
As when building a cross-compiler, configuration and compilation of the compiler can be done using the scripts `cfgpc' and `mkgpc' which are included in the source distribution in the subdirectory `p/script'. Please call them with the `-h' option for instructions.
