So in general I'm happy with the way it is, since I only have to keep alive some existing Installations on embedded systems (bugfixing if necessary). The new stuff is planned to work on FreeBSD 6 and FreeBSD 4 has reached is official end of life. If noone else has a deep need I personally see no reason for putting more work into making fpc runnable on FreeBSD4. Even when no bootstrapping compiler is available a cross platform build with swapping cprt0.as should be possible.
