(4 out of 4 now it seems. There are some version requirements though, but
they are relatively mild)

It is all syscall stuff etc. (though I'll try to add FPC_USE_LIBC support
before committing). It belongs in an "outer" rtl package, but there is no
such thing. 

Maybe we should finalize our plans for the tree structure and buildtools
first, before starting to move stuff out of the RTL. (this being equivalent
to the linux unit that IS in the rtl).
