a) again, I have a really hard time imagining that the people at Embarcadero 
would go out of their way to share as little as possible as far as the compiler 
is concerned (which is what everyone here is theorizing about)
b) at least the linker script example cannot happen, because Apple's linker 
simply does not support linker scripts

I would not call bug reports "treasure". Patches, maybe, but bug reports not. 
Especially for the iOS platform, which Apples makes very painful to develop for 
at a low level if you don't go the jailbreak way.
