FPC could use that trick on (pretty much?) any platform. It doesn't have to be compatible with the official C++ abi of that platform (just like the current technique isn't either). It just isn't implemented yet.
Yes thats right which is why I think its best to optimise its implementation in the various RTLs (the Linux RTL could use the C++ ABI or something else depending on which is faster etc).
It's not the RTL that contains these tables, it's the compiler that generates them. Using a specific ABI (table layout) is only required to be compatible with such tables generated by other compilers, I doubt there are many (if any) speed differences among them.
