Cross-compiling FreeBASIC

Cross-compiling is controlled by the same modular make system as native builds. The preferred identity knob is `TARGET_TRIPLET`. Old short names still exist in places, but new build and package work should prefer the triplet form when a real target identity is needed.

Basic direct build

    make print-config TARGET_TRIPLET=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
    make TARGET_TRIPLET=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Always inspect `print-config` before a long cross build. If host, target, CPU, binary names, library directories, or tool names look wrong there, fix the configuration before building.

Important variables

- `TARGET_TRIPLET` selects the target identity.
- `BUILD_FBC_TARGET` selects the compiler used to build generated tools when needed.
- `FBTARGET_DIR_OVERRIDE` can override the installed target directory for package layouts.
- `FBC` can point to the bootstrap compiler used by the build.

When to use scripts

Use the target package scripts for Android, JavaScript, Wii, Xbox, and distro packages. Those scripts set more than a target CPU. They also set external SDK paths, package layout, archive names, installer behavior, and smoke-test expectations.
