For the windows build I solve this problem by having an external tool
configured that will simply call

$(SaveAll)$(Home)/.wine/drive_c/lazarus/lazbuild.exe

with the current project in the current project directory to quickly
make a windows build of any project with just two mouse clicks.
Unfortunately it is not possible to pass additional parameters to
lazbuild that would allow to override the compiler flags or specify an
additional config file.

Maybe it would be a good idea to file this as a feature request against
lazbuild because I think
(a) it should be easy to implement without affecting or interfering with
any existing functionality
(b) would allow for some really useful general purpose command lines for
lazbuild.
