Starting off with your binary on the system, i.e. with no 2.6.x, I have 
to use a generic fpc.cfg but apart from that things appear to work.

Got sources from svn as above. Attempting to rebuild using a generic 
command line:

make OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 NO_GDB=1 OPT='-O- -gl -Xs-' all

when building fpmake objects about missing crti.o crtbegin.o crtend.o 
crtn.o. Add -Fl/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6.3 
-Fl/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi

Starting over, I get to

I get stuck at the same point irrespective of any -dFPC_ARMHF etc.

Now I'm quite sure it's me doing something silly...
