I have always followed the belief that, whilst FPC does what it does very well, sometimes simplification isn't a bad thing. Portability across platforms - with caveats, obviously, would be a nice addition.
At this time, the compiler cannot supporting systems which lack certain architectural features (e.g., several internal transformations introduce address/pointer expressions in code which does not contain any pointers whatsoever at the Pascal level). While it is possible to override these, it would be much more difficult then just disabling a couple of things in the parser for certain targets.
