I forked FreeDOS Debug several years ago. I kept the sources in NASM format. I extensively use the NASM 2.10-or-later era preprocessor. I also use some bash-style shell scripting to build the sources, tested on a few Linux Debian hosts. My fork is called lDebug. I changed the usage conditions (asking Paul Vojta) to the Fair License. To my knowledge these are the shortest OSI-approved FLOSS usage conditions.

For instructions on how to build you can read the manual. The sources are stored in a hg repo. Occasionally I provide builds hosted on this server too, but no proper releases yet.
