1. could always do that for any platform officially supported. Simply needs the programmer to do something her/himself. No rocket science involved.
2. too many components in the same IDE is a BAD thing, not a good thing.
3. see Marco's post above: there are legal issues, BIG legal issues. That alone is reason to leave it alone.
4. besides: what is claimed is not performed in many cases. (Mainly X-platform issues without proper documentation!)
Anyway: use the official builds and you are fine. I am afraid I do not even like the inclusion of the pl_XXX stuff in OPM. Half of those compile from their original sourcecode, if not all, so 5. False claims. (@Avra take note, I will vote for them to be removed)
This not a flame against it, but those people should have their issues in order. That is important in the open source community. Once they really solve all of that, CT is a fine option, but - still - not now: removing original author copyright and notes is one, that is theft.

I crosscompiled a complete FPC and QT Lazarus to OS X powerpc in 2005. A bit more might work out of the box on codetyphon, but to my knowledge they have nothing that works substantially principles than Lazarus.

I would say this is serious

It offers basically nothing. Only a very little bit of convenience. And putting people on the wrong track.
But old hands like you and me - and multi -lingual - have an advantage over many.

Yes, it is. But alas it is also true... Not only in the past, but to the current day, like today...
