How to get ARM Linux version for Raspberry Pi?

BTW, you really should improve the download links.
Now a user can select his CPU / platform from here:
  http://www.freepascal.org/download.var
It looks good so far.
Then he selects eg. Intel/i386 - FreeBSD.
There is a top link for SourceForge which leads to project "Files"
section where the user must select his platform and the compiler
version (!) again.
Why? The link should lead to the right place instead.

Selecting one of the mirrors instead of SourceForge works better,
except that ARM Linux offers FPC 2.6.4.

Download link is important because it is the first impression for new
people trying FPC.
A louzy first impression affects for a long time.
