Do you get rid of the duplicate argc/argv and cmdline, then ?

Code like

{$if defined(MSWINDOWS) or defined(OS2)}
  { finally release the heap if possible, especially
    important for DLLs }
  for i:=0 to argc do
    sysfreemem(argv[i]);
  sysfreemem(argv);
{$endif}
{$if defined(LINUX) or defined(BSD)}
  sysfreemem(cmdline);
{$endif}

seems rather strange to me...
