It's always worked fine for me on things like NSLU-2 provided that the 
overall memory (i.e. RAM + swap) is at least 512Mb. It will be 
unfortunate if recent builds of FPC and/or Lazarus have pushed this 
requirement upwards, but so far I've not seen any problems on a 
Raspberry Pi (both 1 and 2) running Raspbian or Debian.
