Did you try any other fpc compiler optimisation settings? No expert, but
looks like it isn't too difficult for compiler to spot this.
What about llvm - (coming soon to fpc apparently) - would that fix it?

If I go to this directory and try to compile registry with v2.6.2, win32,
it then uses inifiles so that's needed and not part of the fpc 2.6.2
