The other is Free Pascal [ http://www.freepascal.org ] and is
available as the Debian package: ``fp-compiler'' for x86 and ppc.

The code is here: [ http://dada.perl.it/shootout/fpascal.html ].

Some of them are listed as failing, thus you will also have to
install: ``fp-units-fcl'' for the ``Classes'' unit.
