To allow for this, after some frustration with lesser installations, I 
once installed the complete code sourcery cross development suite 
(including Eclipse). After having done this, cross linking fpc projects 
was no problem any more (including building fpc itself to be run on the 
ARM Target).

But I don't think I'd like to recommend that method ;-) .
