Submit the necessary patches to fpc first. If those are comitted into
trunk, you can post patches for Lazarus, using {$IFNDEF FPC_2_2_2} (or
equivalent) so that it will only work when Lazarus is compiled with a
newer fpc-version.

If there is a hack available which is really needed, you could also
place that code in an ifdef-block so that it is excluded for newer
fpc-versions. But then it must be really important, or the patch will be
rejected.
