You don't need to do that - the new addition may be enabled selectively for the CPU+OS combinations for which it has been already tested successfully (and this approach is preferred over enabling it for everything after testing just a small subset of all targets supported by FPC). Additional targets would then get enabled later by the individual target maintainers as appropriate.

In fact I would like to use EpikTimer in my upcoming "ActiveNoGUI" Lazarus WidgetType. "ActiveNoGUI" is especially useful with small Gadgets that typically don't have X32 or X64 archs.

That is why I am after multi-arch support.

And that is why I feel that it makes sense to use EpikTimer in "ActiveNoGUI" instead of directly including the timer related code. With EpicTimer the "ActiveNoGUI" implementation itself would be automatically arch and OS independent.
