ok, i give it up...

i will pay some dollars if someone can give me a working solution... but 
at first i have some question.

1. i want to create a little client application for my router (running 
with OpenWRT) an a MIPS cpu. this application should use the indy-lib 
for TCP/UDP connections. is this with the actually state of FPC for MIPS 
possible?

2. can i run a crosscompiler i386(pc)/linux|windows -> MIPS/linux 
compiler inside lazarus?

3. what about my "soft-float" problem? in my oppinion i have to compile 
a toolchain with "soft-floating" and the fpc-compiler have to do it too?

4. what say the timeline for fpc/lazarus with native support for MIPS 
systems ?

i realy need this enviroment but i cant get it to run :(
