Which, stating the obvious, is difficult when the available binary is 
stuck at 2.2.2.

I got from there to 2.4 via (I think) 2.5 with Jonas's help, and since 
then have moved it between local machines as a binary. I can confirm 
that 2.4.4 will build FPC trunk (2.7.1) on ARM, and that that can build 
Lazarus trunk.
