I also downloaded the sources to build FPC ansd Lazarus directly, but the FPC
build failed again with the same error.
Then I installed fpc 3.2.2 via apt (sudo apt install fpc) and when I use this
compiler I can start using Lazarus since with that Lazarus builds from sources
(both 2.2.6 and the 3.0_RC2)

Here is what I have now:

 $ apt policy fpc
fpc:
  Installed: 3.2.2+dfsg-20
  Candidate: 3.2.2+dfsg-20
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.2+dfsg-20 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main arm64 Packages
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main armhf Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So I will wait for the next release before resuming building from sources on
Linux arm 64 bit.
