This combination compiles natively (i.e. not as a cross-compiler) on ARM 
running on Qemu. Lazarus built with either "all" or "bigide" appears to 
run, the OS in this case was Debian "Squeeze" and toolbar icons appeared OK.

On mipsel running on Qemu compiling Lazarus fails with

..

/usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk-47318/components/codetools/codetree.pas(824,1)

If anybody wants more detail on this error please say, I find Qemu 
useful for some of the more obscure architectures but it's painfully slow.

On mips running on Qemu compiling Lazarus fails with

make -C packager/registration
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk-47318/packager/registration'
Makefile:196: *** The Makefile doesn't support target mips-linux, please 
run fpcmake first.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk-47318/packager/registration'
make: *** [registration] Error 2

Attempting to run fpcmake (with minimal investigation of the "right" way 
of doing things) fails with

Processing Makefile.fpc
Error: Target "linux", package "rtl" not found

-----

The combination above compiles Lazarus in both 32- and 64-bit mode on an 
AMC Athlon running Linux (Debian "Wheezy"), but Lazarus doesn't run. 
I've not investigated further.
