Hi,

I have already bootstrapped fpc for multiple architectures in the past
and I would be happy to help with bringing fpc up on additional targets.

Since loong64 and riscv64 will only be available with the next upcoming
release, I would suggest packaging a git snapshot for experimental, so
that we can start with the bootstrap process.

I have documented the bootstrap process on the Debian Wiki [1] and it's
actually not that complicated, I have bootstrapped compilers such as
GHC or OpenJDK which are more difficult to bootstrap.

Thanks,
Adrian
