If I look at

seems that in fpc 2.2.0 regvars are not enabled. Why not?
Because they didn't work properly with x86_64 at first. It was fixed
later, but enabling them by default is not a fix so it was not merged to
the fixes branch (and since you can explicitly enable them using
-Ooregvar, it's even less required to merge this change back).
In fpc 2.2.0, a first release on the fixes_2_2 branch, do regvars
properly or not? Your answer seems to indicate they do, but that they
were not enabled by default (yet).
