Looking at http://www.freepascal.org/probs.var I see that FPC still has bug 0008416 open and marked "not fixable", but that it was fixed from the Debian side in February '08 (their
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412927).

Would it be appropriate for somebody to remove the startup warning when FP finds itself running on Debian? From the description the problem will only affect Debian "Sarge" or older, and when I tried a year or so ago it appeared that a current FP will not build for a distro of that age due to other library incompatibilities.

I've removed the check from the source and the report from the website (will be visible tomorrow).
