[TL 2020] asy executables on FreeBSD

[Osipov, Michael]

Folks,

this resource [1] mentions that Nelson Beebe provides the build of asy 
for FreeBSD. I wrote to Nelson and he does not. It is coming from 
elsewhere. Can someone eithe remove that information or add the proper 
originator? Is it Nikola Lečić?

Another issue with asy, it requires libstdc++ from GCC dynamically. It 
force everyone to install the entire GCC chain which is annoying.

Following Nelson's advise:

Can someone trigger the originator to embed the library or link against 
LLVM c++ from base unless there is hard requirement for GCC?
