FreeBSD loader does not pass argc,argv and envp to shared library initialization procedure, like it 
happens on Linux. Since FPC does not have a shared RTL, such hack with exporting symbols from 
executable is likely an only way to initialize RTLs compiled into shared libraries.

However starting from version 9.2 IIRC, FreeBSD loader looks more like Linux one, but it passes 
argc,argv and envp only to initialization procedures pointed at by DT_INIT_ARRAY, not to one pointed 
at by DT_INIT. I.e. fixing the issue requires changes to startup files/link scripts and means that 
no support for versions <9.2 will be available.
