Error: (9016) Util aarch64-apple-ios14-strip not found, switching to external linking

From Linux I want to cross compile to iOS, aarch64. Install of the corss compiler works but compiling the code gives this error:

Hint: (11030) Start of reading config file /home/h/fpcupdeluxe/fpc/bin/x86_64-linux/fpc.cfg

Any idea what goes wrong/is missing
The code I try to cross compile is a dynamic library:

library test;
{$mode objfpc} {$H+}

uses
  // needed for UpperCase
  SysUtils;

// library subroutine
function cvtString(strIn : string) : PChar; cdecl;
  begin
    cvtString := PChar(UpperCase(strIn));
  end;

// exported subroutine(s)
exports
  cvtString;
end.

Tried the same under Lubuntu24 and a fresh install. First it was complaning about a missing clang. Did install that. Then I get these errors:
