I have been thinking about this and If it is really possible and viable 
to use the command-line GDB with programs compiled by fpc, this adds two 
very useful options to the list of the four alternatives:

  a) cross compile using FPC and just run it (debugging via code 
instrumentation)
  b) install fpc on the Target and compile and just run it (debugging 
via code instrumentation)
  c) cross compile and remote debug using Lazarus
  d) install Lazarus and FPC on the Target, compile and debug.

  e) cross compile using FPC and remote debug with the command line gdb 
via ssh - gdb-stub - gdb - link (in case Lazarus does not decently 
support remote debugging)
   f) install fpc on the Target and compile and debug with the command 
line gdb locally, using an ssh terminal log-in.

I think I will try to do (f). At first trying to get fpc running on the 
target by either cross-compiling it or by extracting the binary from 
the  Debian package (see the other message in this thread).
