So will FPC provide the compiler (and maybe an FPC-embedded linker for
ARM) only?
Or would be a reasonable goal to publish "default" device drivers for
embedded targets?

I think, it would be fine to get a full solution by using FPC and
Lazarus (and GNU binutils atm). This would make it easier to get into
embedded developing because you don't need to the libraries but can
instantly start developing you application.

Lazarus then could integrate the tools for uploading the compiled and
linked binary to the embedded device.
