That's another question of course. But e.g. Florian tries to
minimize the overhead of the embedded RTL and if you are aware that
you shouldn't use high overhead features they won't be linked in
either (e.g. if you don't use Variants then the variants unit won't be used).
Also currently there is no PIC support for FPC, but there are some
that seem to be interested in implementing it.
Those micro controllers aren't easily comparable to "mainstream"
processors of the x86 line or even ARM(v6/7/8) or M68k, etc...
You need to have quite some kind of knowledge of those little
buggers, probably causing as many headaches as those CPU targets like
MIPS, with nothing coming up quick.
I am kind of disappointed to see that there isn't a decent free (not
necessary Open Source) Pascal compiler for Arduino/Amtel AVR, but at
least as far as the 8/16bit PIC micro controllers are concerned,
there is a very nice "Turbo Pascal" like compiler called PIC Micro
Pascal (PMP) available from a nice French guy called Philippe
Paternotte at http://www.pmpcomp.fr/
