If you just need "a pascal compiler" and not the advanced ""Object 
Pascal" stuff that FP provides, maybe gcc is more suitable. gcc (= "Gnu 
Compiler Collection") provides multiple front ends (c is the most known, 
Pascal is one of them) and as theses create a well defined intermediate 
code that is usable by all backends, it can compile Pascal to binaries 
for all supported archs.
