The FPC you downloaded probably does not support ARM HF. IIRC, none of
2.6.x does, except that there's a version maintained by Debian with patches.
You could try installing that or perhaps compile using FPC trunk
(manually or using a tool like fpcup [warning: fpcup author speaking ;)]
see here

for instructions for installation on another ARMHF+*buntu device so that
should be quite usable)
