I've planned to announce full FPC compatibility in ALGLIB 2.2.0 However, I have problems with x86_64 FreePascal for Linux (bug #15206, http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15206 - compiler crashes when trying to compile ALGLIB). May I ask when are you going to make next FPC release and will bug #15206 be fixed in that release?
The next release will be out during one of the coming weeks, and is currently at RC1 status. This means that only regressions are still possible candidates for inclusion in the final release. Since your bug occurs with FPC 2.2.4, that is not the case... On the other hand, have you tried compiling it with FPC 2.4.0rc1? Maybe the bug is already fixed.
Another question: are you interesting in using ALGLIB as a part of the FPC test suite? Large numerical analysis libraries are good in triggering compiler bugs (for example, GMP and MPFR have discovered many bugs in GCC).
If it doesn't have any external dependencies and preferably is cross platform (endian safe, no reliance on 80 bit floating point precision nor on intermediate calculations being performed using 80 bit precision), I think that could indeed be a good addition.
