Interesting, there was somebody in (I think) fpc-devel a few months ago 
with similar problems but we all rather went in circles.

Since Lemote appears to be using the compiler OK and since I think I've 
had it running on (a Qemu emulation of) mipsel, I think that the problem 
is that /some/ kernel builds are expecting a particular ELF header on 
/some/ machine types. If OP could identify the correct parameter for ld 
it might be possible to use fpc's -k option.
