You can't even find GPC packages in newer distributions.

Appears in Ubuntu 10. Disappeared from Ubuntu 11
Also according to the GNU Pascal site it seems to only support GCC<4
with the last release being from 2006. I can't tell how valid this
observations are (I didn't find a source repository by quickly looking),
so please handle with care.
While GPC is not very active atm, and a case could be made that it is dead,
these kinds of statistics are not very comparable.
This because GPC has a totally different release and development model
(read: none since 2.1), and nearly all builds are independent build of
target-maintainers, that often also keep own source trees, and mutually
absorb patches.
It is very difficult to compare this with FPC, that actively pushes
distribution specific releases (deb, rpm, freebsd ports).
That's why I wrote "please handle with care" ;)

Sven
