Could it be because FPC uses OABI per default? :) Try recompiling fpc and your application for EABI. I'm not an expert on ABI's, though as far as I understand, it's merely a definition of how userland applications should call Linux kernel functions

Hi

May I ask why do we need a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT=y in the kernel to for fpc to work on arm-linux?

regards

    Well, this is off topic, but ARM is quite a bit backwards
    compatible. All ARM versions are backwards compatible(if we ignore
    thumb, which fpc doesn't support anyway) :)

                I'm quite sure that FPC's ASM can compile hex
                constants (using "DC" ???)


            that is not the point. You don't wont to bother with
            (error prone) hex constants, but want to use the regular
            assembler mnemonics.


        quite right! especially with a processor like the ARM, where
        it keeps, er.., improving its instruction set between each
        generation of hardware!
