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?
