IMO, pros would be: - it's less work to change the Sibyl RTL to compile with FPC than to change the FPC RTL to work with Sibyl - Better compatibility with existing sibyl programs as every method/function/unit-name/solution would be the same as before - The Sibyl RTL already has all the API definitions Contras: - The freepascal team would not profit from this project, at least not too much, and not in a multiplatform way.:) - The assembly syntax of FPC and Sibyl is very different, so the lot of Assembly parts of the Sibyl code would have to be changed to AT&T assembler form, or FPC has to be switched to Intel assembler format, if possible.
