I am mostly interested in Lazarus for cross-platform use so if it is only possible to use Indy10 with Lazarus/fpc on Windows then I am out of luck here... :-( Initially I want to program on Windows (because this is what I am most used to) but to program/compile on Ubuntu Linux on X86 will be the next step. And finally cross-compiling for embedded Debian Linux for ARM. So whatever I choose must work on all these targets. Although I do not plan on actually running Lazarus on the embedded platform, I hope I can cross-compile for it... I am not planning to use many Indy functions though, mainly the standard TCP server and client plus FTP and possibly SMTP client for sending emails.
