pseudo (hex-code) assembler for arm also.
It's now even possible to configure really working cross-compilers.

The native and cross progs and libs (for the same platform) don't clash as far as I can tell, so it doesn't hurt to just build and install all of them. It also helps that the Makefile has less exceptions, e.g. this patch solves it (note that it also adds $(I386_CROSS) which I think is accidentally missing):

> 2. In general, it seems that libtcc1.a for the cross progs is only built for the windows progs, and only on x86[_64] platforms. E.g. on arm, $(CROSS_PROGS) includes the windows compilers but not their libtcc1.a, and on linux 64 there's no libtcc1.a for linux 32.

I.e. use as little exceptions as possible, e.g. on i386 also build cross i386, etc. It might be even possible to use the exact same set of cross progs and cross libs regardless of the host.
