The cause of the problem appears to have been lack of memory. The Debian 
installer had created a 90Mb swap partition which was inadequate, I 
rebuilt the system with 1Gb of which I believe around 200Mb was used 
during the Lazarus build (make all).

I believe I've got a good set of binaries out of it but execution fails 
with exceptions. I can't put any more time into this one right now but I 
will revisit at some point.
