there's a thread with subject "FPC_ARMEL system calls" from circa june
this year that's got some info about building, etc.  you should be
able to compile for arm, but add OPT=-dFPC_ARMEL to make it eabi.
there should really be a new target for this, i guess.

i'm not that hot on fpc internals, but someone has done some work for
eabi.  syscalls have some changes in alignment of parameters and there
is some procedure call differences iirc but it looks like it should do
the right thing.  you might have a problem with fpu, though.  i
haven't got an eabi setup, yet, so i can't test properly.
