I am fully aware of that. But there is no problem for Debian if it is
not there. Than the package is just not build on that arch.

I am working on kfreebsd, although I am unsure if I will succeed without
more help from upstream. I think it is too complicated for me as I
understand from discussions with Marco and the kfreebsd porters, the
Debian freebsd port is quite different than the normal FreeBSD system.
So most thinks in fpc need to be Linux style instead of freebsd style.
Marco hopes that we can actually use the LIBC version of fpc. But until
now, I haven't been able to get that far enough. Probably soon I will
start experimenting in experimental with the freebsd variant for now.

For mips and mipsel (if I remember correctly, no Internet connection to
check if that is the arch that I mean right now) I am missing an
upstream binary to bootstrap the system, so that will need
cross-compiling. That will be a big challenge as well.

The Hurd is not supported yet by fpc AFAICT, so that will have to wait.
