[fpc-devel] Delphi XE2 uses FPC for iOS target

[Thaddy]

I can see the messages in the changelogs of Delphi:

"Reason: FPC compatibility"

There is a risk of an endless loop here, or a deadlock of some sort 8-)

Good news: the new Firemonkey framework is already 100% compatible with 
Freepascal by design.
