Ah, sorry, wrong link, please use
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui/files/fpcarm/

I normally use cross compiling and remote debugging with MSEide:
http://mseide-msegui.sourceforge.net/pics/crossarm.png
It needs current MSEide+MSEgui from git master:
https://gitlab.com/mseide-msegui/mseide-msegui
and the FPC cross environment from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui/files/fpcrossarm/
There soon will be a MSEide+MSEgui 4.0beta1 release.
You probably can can configure Lazarus for cross development too.
