It is a skeleton _only_, to build on top of, you have to fill it with your
own OS. Try to follow e.g. the Linux RTL (mainly the system unit), and try
to understand what each procedure does, and if you need it.

No, since FPC has no support for your OS. Simply ignore that for now. Keep
using the Linux target, but give it the fakertl (or a stripped down Linux
system unit with all linux specific syscalls replaced by the ones of your
own OS)
