[fpc-pascal] Help building FPC on armhf

[Michael Ring]

I am using parameters suggested on this page (modified for armv7a):

http://michellcomputing.co.uk/blog/2014/05/freepascal-2-7-1-on-raspberry-pi/

OPT="-dREVINC -dFPC_ARMHF -CX -CpARMV7A -CfVFPV3_D16 -OpARMV7A -O2 
-OoFASTMATH -XX -Xs"

as your error seems to be caused by some conditional parsing the extra 
defines above might help (or not .....)
