... and has the hardware.
Anyone working on any free software project can get an account on the
GCC compile farm: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm
They "only" have ARMv5 and ARMv7 machines, but it's better than nothing.
Nevertheless, there will be a 2.4.4 release for ARM/linux (barring
any last-minute showstoppers) ARMv5/EABI/softfloat, an rc1 is
already on the ftp. There will be an ARM/iOS crosscompiler release
too.
There won't be an iOS 2.4.4 release, because it would barely work with
current iOS SDK releases:
a) as of Xcode 3.2.0, simulator builds require the iphonesim target
that only exists in 2.5.x
b) as of Xcode 3.2.6 and Xcode 4, all object files (including those
generated by the resource compiler) must having matching ARM
architecture identifiers of the linker will refuse to link them, and
there does not appear to be a way to override this anymore (this
hasn't even been fixed in fpc trunk yet)
