[fpc-pascal] FPC for FreeBSD/PowerPC64

Mon Sep 14 16:59:39 CEST 2020

I've resolved my initial issue.  It was something included in the
command-line that was causing the error.

I'm trying to use the unmodified linux/powerpc64 files with freebsd.  When
building bsd/system.pp I get the following:

I'm a novice programmer, so any suggestions on what to look at or how to
fix this?
