I see no troubling ones. THe first few mean that generic might not be 64-bit
clean, but are probably false. (since generic.inc is used for the 64-bit ports too),
the others are simply unused Unix symbols. This is normal, because these includefiles
are also used in a few other places (like baseunix), where they _are_ used.

Probably modifications to the processor's exceptions registers. IOW, enable certain exceptions so
that they can be trapped to Delphi language exceptions.
