Instead modify RTL to not import that functions, provide a simple
empty stub in a "local" DLL to keep the dll loader happy and disable
unicode. Maybe I'm dropping something in the path and this approach is
not good.

The worst thing could be a "no answer" function, or implement a very
basic non complian unicode operations (I had not checked what
oleaut32.dll functions perform).


As the RTL can be switched to "don't use those functions", as I've described, the impact should be low.

Note: You do that switch in your main program as well as the variable/constant is available in the implementation section of the system unit (maybe you need to enable "writable typed constants"). Then a stub would be sufficient.

Sven
