You don't need gcc. You are looking at compiling C programs cross platform with gcc.

You don't have C programs, you have Pascal programs (FPC). So you need a cross pascal
compiler.

However it happens that FPC can generate code for all operating systems on
an architecture using one binary. (ppc386 in this case)

What you need are cross binutils. These are on ftp (freepascal.stack.nl), and if
you need to hand build them, see the script in the fpc source repository (fpc/install/cross)

Then you need to compile the parts of FPC that are OS specific (the libraries) for win32.
In the same CVS dir (fpc/install/cross) there is script that does just that.
