Upstream 2.6.x does not support the hard float ABI so unless you have a 
patched version (such as the one shipped in debian) it won't correctly 
link against C libraries on a system that uses hard float ABIS. Also 
even when the hard float ABI support is present in the compiler source 
code you need to either bootstrap with a starting compiler that uses the 
hard float ABI or explictly specify -d FPC_ARMHF during the build.

This web editor from comcast doesn't work correctly, only the winblows way with messages on top, so here : 


--- start of response-- 


I am not using an upstream binary file but compiled my own on gentoo. On gentoo you compile everything. The scripts that come with gentoo ARM are setup for hard floats only. I will check what you are saying tonight anyway. I will first write some pascal code to test. I think that lazarus might be the only problem since fpc didn't barf when I ran it. 


I might have tried lazarus on debian on Rasphberry Pi, not sure, I will double check that. I know that it worked perfectly when I did and it was hard float. I will just use Rasphberry pi as a programmer for AVR32 and PIC32, too slow for anything graphical.
