    This should, in theory, be possible. Kylix links against Qt and some
    additional CLX runtime libraries, which are covered under a
    dual-lisenced: if you pay for Kylix you get a commercial lisence for Qt
    and CLX, if you use the Open Kylix version you get GPL'd copies of the
    license. As far as I can tell, the problem with Kylix on FreeBSD is the
    IDE itself, using customized WINE-like libraries internally, and has
    nothing to do with the output of the compiler/linker.

    It does sortof assume you have glibc, but I don't think there are any
    issues with Kylix that don't exists with Linux-built gcc/gld binaries.
