Ok. It's good then.
I'd like to know about the actual CYCLELEVEL logic implementation details.

So far I haven't found any explicit conditional define related to cycle levels.
I assume something like:

  {$IF not defined(FPC_CYCLELEVEL1) and not defined(FPC_CYCLELEVEL2) and not 
defined(FPC_CYCLELEVEL3)}                                                       
                         
    // previous version compiler builds our sources                             
                                                                                
                      
    def_system_macro('FPC_CYCLELEVEL1');                                        
                                                                                
                      
  {$ENDIF}                                                                      
                                                                                
                      
  {$IFDEF FPC_CYCLELEVEL1}                                                      
                                                                                
                      
    // CYCLELEVEL1 compiler builds our sources                                  
                                                                                
                      
    def_system_macro('FPC_CYCLELEVEL2');

  {$IFDEF FPC_CYCLELEVEL2}

  {$ENDIF}                                                                      
                                                                                
                      
  {$IFDEF FPC_CYCLELEVEL3}                                                      
                                                                                
                      
    // CYCLELEVEL3 compiler builds our sources

  {$ENDIF}                                                                      
                                                                                
                      

... somewhere in options.pas should be enough. 
Or maybe there is already some existing / more reliable way?
