OK, about your note that the folder does not exist and you created it ?
Do you mean the message
Cannot access '/usr/bin/ppcross386': No such file or directory ? I believe that message is telling you that the file (binary or symlink) ppcross386 does not exist. But if you then had to create /usr/bin its a whole new ball game ! Linux mint ? Based on Debian ? I believe you should already have a /usr/bin and it should already have a heap of binaries in it. If now, then your main bin dir is /usr/local/bin We can easily check, please type echo $PATH and send the output. Or look in /usr/bin and see if there are lots of files there that are dated before you ran the install.
If your system does not use /usr/bin then the install command should have been -
$ sudo make crossinstall CPU_TARGET=i386
Now, continuing on incase the above is a non issue -
Everything seems to work fine, its just that you don't end up with ppcross386 in your /usr/bin directory. I am petty sure that it should be a symlink but not certain (I install mine a bit differently).
I see clearly where ppcross386 is built, its in /usr/share/fpcsrc/3.2.0/compiler/ppcross386
It gets 'installed' to /usr/lib/fpc/3.2.0/ppcross386
(which is a strange FPC-ism, we should not have executables under /usr/lib but thats what they do!)
Can you please check to see if those files are there ?
If so, lets cheat a bit and see if you can create the necessary symlink ?
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/fpc/3.2.0/ppcross386 /usr/bin/ppcross386
Another issue is the fashionable alternative directory, please run this command -
ls -l /etc/alternatives/pp*
Its a means of easily swapping which versions of things you use. You should see a symlink to our ppcross386 there too, interesting to see where it points.
Sorry this is becoming such a epic task, it really should not be ! It will be usefull to see why its such a problem for you and correct the wiki ....

some notes as I look through your log -
Interesting stuff starts at #813, ppcross386 seems to be built without issues.
Install starts at #2909
#2924 copies /usr/share/fpcsrc/3.2.0/compiler/ppcross386 to /usr/lib/fpc/3.2.0/ppcross386
