I've hacked something into 
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Native_ARM_Systems based on my notes 
and an audit of what I've installed on development systems. If anybody 
has additional detail please add it, in particular if anybody has useful 
links for things like getting FPC or Lazarus sources over Subversion 
they could go in.

Another useful page would be on getting/building libgdb- has anybody 
done this (and if not where should it be)?

I wonder if I could make a suggestion: if anybody adds arcana related to 
hardware that the rest of the community doesn't have, please initial it 
so that everybody knows who the expert is :-)
