That's correct. That's why it should be provided on the command-line.

fpcmkcfg only shows the values of all defined macro's. For example, try 
'fpcmkcfg -d foo=jojo -m'.

The built-in macro's are there because they need some sort of logic. 
Like the BUILDDATE and BUILDTIME which will contain the current 
date/time. FPCTARGET the processor fpcmkcfg is compiled for etc.

It's being used for ages... You mean the 'FreePascal' part?
