At your own risk, (make copy configuration folder before), you can try this applicacion to export/import settings (warning: not heavely tested)

I am using macOS, and no, in the end I didn't use "make bigide" at all, since I was able to unpack the https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20macOS%20aarch64/Lazarus%204.0RC1/lazarus-darwin-aarch64-4.0RC1.zip/download file and run that. I have been doing some cross_compiling to Linux in the last few days, but I thought I hd reset all of my options in Project Options and Configure "Build Lazarus" so that everything was set to macOS aarch64 before copying the config folder over!

Ah, cool :) As long as I backup first, what could possible go wrong? ;)

I suspect you are playing is some quite untested space right now.
As long as you still have a working compiler, I think I would go back to the model of building a new Lazarus, in a new directory with "make bigide". Only after you have established that works should you consider "make useride". Lazarus itself is cross compile agnostic, cross compiling is FPC's problem. The fpc command will choose which actual compiler to use at compile time. If you have hard wired paths to specific cross compilers in Lazarus, you sure are making things harder for yourself, that information belongs in your application project.
Maybe DomingoGP's tool will help but you will, sooner of later have to build Lazarus with a config containing your special settings. Thats where useride comes in. Your alternative is to manually re-install all the necessary Lazarus setting, by hand, would that be too big a job ?

Actually @Martin_fr's suggestion of copying editoroptions.xml from my old installation, has, I think covered all of the things I needed to update.
