Hi,

I made a virtual appliance with opensuse 12.2, x386. To be able to 
download it you must create an account on http://susestudio.com. Search 
for freepascal, then you'll find it : Freepascal for arm-embedded.

While making and testing it I discovered that the last revision (at this 
time 23542) does create a compiler, but when I try to compile the 
application from the wiki, I get a linking error :

fpc -Parm -Tembedded -Wplpc2124 -XParm-none-eabi- tled1.pp

This is the same error I reported about some days ago. Is it me, doing 
something wrong, or is there something wrong with the crosscompiler ?
