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.
