[Lazarus] Cross Compile for arm-linux

Ok, thank you!
I tried to do:

make distclean
./configure --target=arm-linux
make

but I get some errors:

~/arm/binutils$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kjow/arm/binutils'
Configuring in ./intl
configure: loading cache ./config.cache
configure: error: `target_alias' has changed since the previous run:
configure:   former value:  `i686-pc-linux-gnu'
configure:   current value: `arm-linux'
configure: error: in `/home/kjow/arm/binutils/intl':
configure: error: changes in the environment can compromise the build
configure: error: run `make distclean' and/or `rm ./config.cache' and start over

I need to develop for Maemo platform (Nokia N900), it is a GNU/Linux
distribution based on Debian (arm) with X11 and all other things of
desktop version. There is a specific development kit, but it can run
any arm-linux compiled program (I read that in past versions, some
people have cross compiled for it)
I would to have a lazarus configured like for arm-wince, so
multiplatform will be fantastic!

Thank you!
