That's a good explanation, thank you. I would like to have the debugger
support. 

I'm planning to go through the build again a few times for various reasons
including I want to get a current copy on Solaris SPARC. I didn't get (all)
the units built and there are some other minor annoyances in the way it
worked out (no symlink from fpc to the ppcx module) and if it doesn't go
like you said I'll post back to the list.
