    <p>Sorry for being a bit slow - I've been doing my own work on x86. 
      I gave your patch (and new file) a test run on x86_64-win64, and
      that seems to work fine.  At least the warning messages in the
      packages appear magenta.  I'll give arm-linux a test next.<br>

      <p>I'm doing some optimisation development for x86_64 currently,
        so I can give it a test run if you like - got the Raspberry Pi
        for arm-linux and aarch64-linux too, but it might take more then
        a day.  I'll let you know.</p>

        Yes, and the more platforms are added, the more messy this unit
        gets. :-( I tried to clean it up a bit by moving the
        platform-specific parts to a new unit - see the attachment
        containing a diff for comphook.pas and the new unit. I didn't
        commit yet because I couldn't test it on the other platforms (my
        new implementation for OS/2 works OK ;-) ). If somebody tests is
        under Linux and WinXX, I'll committ it tomorrow. <br>
