Ah, OK, I should have read your mail before answering it. :-)

Yes, that won't work, as you described. The installation script wants to run 
the compiler compiled for ARM.

So the question is: is there a way to detect that we are compiling on another 
architecture in the configuration files? Then we will tell the user that the 
local gambas compiler will be used, and so that it must be present!
