Correct, the most is equal between the platform. There are only subtle 
differences like this one for AArch64-Win64: 
https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/compiler/aarch64/ncpuset.pas?r1=44949&r2=44948&pathrev=44949

If you want, you could also install a Windows 10 On ARM64 inside a KVM 
on your Raspberry (with the correct guest drivers you'll get near native 
performance) like I have done and test around on that as well ;) Maybe 
you'll find the necessary time earlier than me to fix the remaining 
problems of the compiler not being able to cycle itself there... :/
