I've managed to build fpc for the slug running debian squeeze (a while
ago), so there is hope.  I even managed to run the testsuite - you may
be amused by my fumblings here:

You will have to build the compiler for EABI, so add -dFPC_ARMEL to
your OPT parameter.  I'm afraid I don't have tips for the build
failing, but maybe you should try the latest trunk and submit a
bugreport with the trace.
