Good suggestion!
I did this and fpc is now being built:
root at rpi2-jessie:/usr/local/fpc/source# time make all PP=ppcarm-2.6.4

Unfortunately it ends with an error:

/usr/local/fpc/source/rtl/units/arm-linux/cprt0.o: In function
`_haltproc_eabi':

If this can be solved:

Next question:
--------------
Do I need to also run the following commands afterwards:

 make install OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF PREFIX=/usr/local
 make install sourceinstall OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF PREFIX=/usr/local

and do these also need the PP=ppcarm-2.6.4 parameter?
