Just out of curiosity, what are we trying to solve?

Or am I missing some crucial point?
3 idle cores on a quad core CPU. Why pay for a quad core, if Lazarus +
FPC use only one? I am still waiting during a compile and those 3
other cores are idling. Let them to part of the work to get the job
done faster. ;-)
True, but from the point of using FPC and the point of faster
compilation => this needs a multithreaded fpc.
Running a single threaded fpc in it's own thread (never mind if compiled
into lazarus, or loaded as process from a thread) will not do much
Well, currently this does not help much either because FPC is mainly
bound to memory throughput if the disk cache is already hot. Resistent
FPC keeping units loaded would be the largest gain for projects like MSE
or Lazarus.
