Hey August!

Errrr ... yeah.

Will do but first and foremost it needs a working x86_64 based pascal
compiler.  Without that we're just guessing.

A working pascal compiler.  I'll give freepascal a go on a spare developmnet
partition that sits unused since I am waiting for the newest glibc which is
due for release soon.  This way if I decide to bail on pascal it won't take
much to get rid of.  From my current understanding the build process is much
like building JDK (Java Deveelopment Kit) and requires an already working
freepascal compiler installed first.  Myself I ditched java decades ago
without any regrets.  Pascal might turn out to be the same.

Care to place any bets on it's surviverability?
