Toshiba AC100 have 2 Cortex-A9 cores. Arm architecture is "armv7"
I use Ubuntu 11.04  armel. It means: ARM, EABI, Little Endian. Float point mode now is "softfloat".
But in the future I plan to migrate to Debian hardfloat port: http://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort

Latest officially released fpc is 2.2.2 but it is OABI and doesnt work with EABI OS, of course.
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.4/arm-linux/ - here is the correct precompiled arm-linux EABI version, release 2.4.4 . Installs and works ok (but I suppose it contains some bugs, so I can't compile mseide with it. "Hello world" is ok).
