Koenraad Lelong managed to run a MSEgui application on an arm-linux device, 
see the thread "MSE gui for arm-linux" from 2007-12-26 in NNTP:
news://news.grid-sky.com/public.mseide-msegui.talk

He used the i386-linux libc bindings IIRC.
MSEgui does not use many libc routines. The reason for using libc in MSEgui is 
Kylix compatibility (Kylix has no baseunix) and locale support. It is planned 
to either {$ifdef} libc calls in MSEgui for FPC version or to implement 
MSEgui specific multi platform libc bindings. MSEgui works with and without 
xft.
