But only one is referenced in fpc.cfg :

/usr/local/lib/fpc/4.0.0/x86_64-linux/dotted/XYZ
#ELSE
/usr/local/lib/fpc/4.0.0/x86_64-linux/XYZ

where the -NS switch defines NAMESPACED
That is correct if the namespace switches was introduced with XE2. It would
fail for sources that used dotted notation and namespace, but don't assume
it for the RTL, iow pre XE2.
This is a non-argument, since that wouldn't work today either.
We need to draw a line somewhere, no need to be holier than the pope.
Lets try to target e.g. D7 and XE2+
Dotted, unicode
not dotted, unicode.
which is clear nonsense.
No, two rtls, both dotted, with namespace if needed. Which is the same as
what you propose, just kept physically apart.
If the above fails to satisfy you, no problem, all for it.
But I don't see the use of the dotted for old code.
That was just for simplicity's case.
Lets not forget that Delphi tries to hide a lot of the complexity by
always writing a complete config file and using that file when compiling.
I think a good first step would be building without storing the generated
files in the same dir as the source.
A matter of configuration, I would think.
Michael.
