But Sash0k wrote that he got the 2.4.4 from 
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.4/arm-linux/
Could it be that your system and the distributed 2.4.4 compiler have 
different settings (e.g. OABI vs. EABI, floating point)?

@Sash0k: maybe that would be interesting for you to check as well. Which 
ABI still does your computer use? And which floating point system? Can 
you use the distributed 2.4.4 compiler on your system for compiling a 
hello world application?

Though I need to admit that I'm not an ARM expert, so I might not be of 
much help here...
