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.
