If you really try to run FreePascal then you'd better talk with its
developers (they provided OpenBSD binaries a long time ago) or try to
bootstrap its build on another OS (cross-compilation is supported), or
via another compiler. I tried to do so but then need in FPC was gone, so
I had to abort the porting due to lack of time.
