I did:
sudo mv /usr/local/share/lazarus /usr/local/share/lazarus_old

What is the difference?

I already created a directory /home/pi/development where I checked out
lazarus trunk into subdir lazarus. So the sources are there.
In these discussions I have understood that lazarus can be handled
entirely within the home dir...

My problems earlier were again following the tutorial website where
everything was done after sudo su...
That part is entirely fixed now!  :)

---- Lazarus has been compiling bigide ----
~/development/lazarus $ time make bigide

Result:
real    17m57.477s
user    14m15.830s
sys     2m26.930s

My Rasberry Pi2 was set up with 1000GB swap and to boot into the
command line interface (to not waste memory) for the build operation
above.
I will now switch out of this thread and create a new one for
installation of Lazarus on a Raspberry Pi2 since I still have
problems.
