[fpc-devel] I've asked this before, but perhaps I wasn't specific enough that time: what do I *personally*, specifically need to do to ensure that a native Windows 64-bit build winds up on the FPC website for the next release?

It would be neither of those things. The exception handling on x64 Windows
is the fastest provided by FPC, for example (though the compiler AFAIK
avoids doing anything that would generate exception handling code within
its own codebase as much as possible).

That limit is a fundamental hardware limitation, not a bug. Not at all hard
to imagine someone encountering it on 32-bit particularly if they're using
Lazbuild for multi-threaded compilation.
