Not at the moment I'm afraid. I got bogged down with EABI, and currently 
all my ARM machines are tied up doing special jobs. I've got some 
general-purpose boards but they come with CE rather than Linux and so 
I'm going to have to do some hacking (OpenFirmware?) to get them running.

 From what I remember Lazarus was just about usable, i.e. it wasn't 
spending all its time swapping. /However/ this was around a year ago and 
I'd almost certainly built it for GTK v1, I don't know whether there are 
still issues which slow GTK v2 right down when X is run over a LAN- 
these were headless so I had to use either X or VNC.
