Not in combination with regvars. Note that this combination is not guaranteed to go wrong (in fact, it's quite unlikely), it just can go wrong.

Then we should also warn not to use peephole optimizations on i386 in 2.6.x (http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=23431 ), and probably about many more things. I don't mind version-specific "FPC known issues" pages on the wiki, but I don't feel like creating and maintaining them myself.
