Ok, I did a svn up, make distclean ; make LCL_PLATFORM=gtk2 all .. and it's still not working.

It's still giving precisely the output above.. with CmdLine="/opt/cross/bin/ppc386".. I'm sure that 
should just be /opt/cross/bin/fpc and it will figure it out from the -P and -T parameters..

I've managed to get lazarus to cross-compile for powerpc, using make directly. I've managed to get 
it to compile the idepkg target (after having to add the ~/lazarus/TreeView path to my -Fu in 
~/.fpc.cfg).. but lazbuild still will not pick the right compiler for me.

It's griping it can't find the comctrls unit (which is fair, it's using ppc386 and looking for a 386 
binary in the powerpc directory).

Am I doing something obviously stupid?
