Odd, it seems to work for me, but I'm on 2.19.

Note this.

You can probably fix this with passing --disable-werror to ./configure.

I'm still not sure why you are messing around with binutils.  You need
to build for maemo, so just download the maemo sdk, read the manual,
then try and cross compile fpc and lazarus.  Relevant links are:
