Small addendum: a Debian developer backported the required support on  
top of FPC 2.6.4, and hence if you use Debian or a Debian-derived  
Linux distribution, you can get an FPC 2.6.4 on your Raspberry Pi via  
standard apt-get. Note that this version is not supported by us due to  
the fact that it's a custom port.
