You have two choices:

Choice 1
========
only forth definitions
vocabulary *target
also *target definitions \ will search *TARGET before FORTH

l: test \ searches FORTH to find L:
\ TEST is in *TARGET

Choice 2
========

: L: \ -- ; L: <name>
also *target definitions
here(t) constant
previous definitions
;

This creates TEST in *TARGET regardless of the defined search
order. If you use an ANS Forth host, you will have more control
than using a Forth-83 host.

If you want to generate a Forth cross compiler as well, read
Brad Rodriguez series of articles on "Moving Forth". If you
are doing this for work rather than entertainment, buy a
commercial compiler with source code from MPE or Forth Inc.
We've been doing this stuff for a long time, the chassis is
rock solid, and you'll get all the tools you need. Forth
cross compilers are conceptually easy, but are very difficult
to implement well - the devil's in the detail and there's
a lot of detail. Yes, I'm biased. We sell cross-compilers
but even at very low wage rates, the cost of a commercial
compiler is very low compared to that of the time it will
take to write a good tool from scratch.
