Going from a completely i386-specific code generator to an ARM

Maybe they should just call it quits on there compiler product, and at
the same time save themselves a boat load of cash and time, and simply
used FPC as their compiler, and then put their resources towards
building a cross-platform developer tool chain around the FPC compiler
(like IDE and GUI framework/bindings etc). Oh wait, they are already
doing that for ARM. ;-)
they could even save more time, it they would use Lazarus ;-)
Makes you wonder, will they start submitting patches for FPC too?
I had the same thought. What happens, if their customers report bugs
concerning the code generation? Are they competent enough to fix them?
(I don't think so)
