<h3>Free-Pascal Compiler / Object Pascal</h3>
<p><a href="https://bootstrapping.miraheze.org/wiki/Aesop">Aesop</a> seems to still be at the vaporware stage, no code is available.</p>

- The transpiled C non-source code used for bootstrapping contained in <code>./c_code/</code> is pretty much what you would get with C++ mangled symbols auto-decompiled to C.<br />
- <a href="https://bootstrapping.miraheze.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_Nim">Bootstrapping Nim via historical releases</a> would need a bootstrap path for Object Pascal, which doesn't exists (yet?), another way would be to have a minimal Nim compiler written in another language which is capable of compiling the current compiler.

QEMU 7.0 <a href="https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/11c7bca43160b3d893dc8d846d8da2838332123c">needs a quick fix on the <code>pc-bios/meson.build</code> file</a> so you can choose to not use the binaries it ships, fixed in QEMU 7.1.<br />
