It should work.

There is one problem with compiling the RTL with -gt if you assign a  
shortstring to itself (e.g., by passing a global variable variable as  
var/const-parameter to a function, which then assigns this var  
parameter to that global variable) on targets that don't use an  
assembler helper for this. And the compiler does this somewhere while  
parsing the command line options.

However, I assume this is on i386 and that one does use an assembler  
helper. Furthermore, that problem only causes the compiler not to  
compile anything, rather than crash during parsing.
