RDOS (my OS) runs well on an 386 with 4MB, but it no longer supports
emulating DOS, and the FPC adaption I did many years ago probably is broken.
OTOH, it would be possible to adapt the FPC RTL to RDOS, provided it is
thread-safe, and that way provide a light-weight environment. I have an RTL
implementation for OpenWatcom, which right now is my primary environment.
And RDOS supports modern hardware (including multicore), something DOS never
will do.

Low resource usage perhaps. How well does Linux run on a 386 with 4 MB of
RAM? What about 2 MB? :)
