Hi Felipe,
   Afer using Adriaan van Os' excellent scripts I now have a ppc386 and 
a ppcppc that were both built today v2.3.1. The lcl compiles under both 
i386 and powerpc, but I'm still having problems with printer4lazarus 
package.
Using bigide and TARGET_CPU=powerpc compiles, but does not seem to 
correctly compile the printer4lazarus package.

If I compile my project via the IDE, the first time it complains that it 
can't fine Printer4Lazarus. I ignore the errors and it eventually 
compiles and appears to be building Printer4Lazarus in the back 
background. If I now try to build my project as a "powerpc" target, 
printerdlgs.pp is immediately displayed and I get the error message...
Fatal: Can't find unit LResources used by PrintersDlgs.

 From looking at the compiler options command line parameters screen it 
seems to be looking for it in
-Fu../../../../../.lazarus/lib/Printer4Lazarus/powerpc-darwin/

It this correct?

This seems to be my last hurdle in creating a Universal binary for this 
project.
