It seems that make fails, even for standard build without --target added:

    Makefile:845: recipe for target 'all' failed
    make.exe: *** [all] Error 2

Why is that?
Is it normal that make tries to configure something, when build.sh had 
already been run?

The compiler in question is Free Pascal. A cross-compiler builds without 
issues, but it needs proper binutils to compile anything.

This is more of a proof-of-concept, because I already have a working 
win32-hosted toolchain.
