A pity. It still has a lot of bugs; it would be good to have a peek at 
the sources. 

But on the whole the Kylix IDE is very good; It _IS_ 100% Delphi, 
(and it _DOES_ use wine, contrary to what some people said) 
The produced executables do not use wine, but they do use a lot 
of libraries:

/lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x40015000)
libqtintf.so => /opt/delphi/bin/libqtintf.so (0x40017000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x401ec000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x402bc000)
libdl.so.2 => /opt/delphi/bin/libdl.so.2 (0x402cf000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x402d2000)
libqt.so.2 => /opt/delphi/bin/libqt.so.2 (0x403b6000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40a7d000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40a8b000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40a95000)
libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40aad000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40acc000)       

Looks like the library version problem will be even worse than it is 
on Windows. I even had to patch my latest suse system to get it to work :/
