No chance: No such packages on Optware:

fpc already works, Lazarus will need a GUI which is not available.

I understood that you suggested not "remote GUI" but  "remote debugging" 
(i.e. using a "gdb stub" on the target and having the gdb used by 
Lazarus on a PC attache to the stub via ssh), here you don't need any 
GUI on the target when debugging command-line tools.

I am just up to doing command-line tools that don't have a TApplication 
instance (aka "widgetset") at all. the "nogui widgetset" is not helpful 
anyway, as it does not provide an event queue to allow for things like 
TTimer and thread->mainthread signaling.
