Re: [fpc-devel] I've asked this before, but perhaps I wasn't specific enough that time: what do I *personally*, specifically need to do to ensure that a native Windows 64-bit build winds up on the FPC website for the next release?

Yeah, MSVC (for some reason) universally defines "long double" as 
exactly an alias for regular 64-bit double, whereas GCC and Clang 
(more correctly IMO) define it as an 80-bit type equivalent to FPC's 
traditional "extended". So even on 32-bit with MSVC you have to 
hand-write assembly to make use of x87 FPU instructions.

Did you test a windows gcc (win64 SEH) or a SJLJ "posix" (basically 
unported Unix)  gcc ?
