Re: [fpc-devel] I've asked this before, but perhaps I wasn't specific enough that time: what do I *personally*, specifically need to do to ensure that a native Windows 64-bit build winds up on the FPC website for the next release?

It's not a realistic concern in actuality. There's a reason almost 
every other compiler just continues to generate x87 FPU instructions 
on x64 Windows when appropriate the same way they do for whatever 
other platforms are supported.

Just FYI what Delphi writes in their documentation ( 
https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Simple_Types_(Delphi)#Real_Types 
):

On i386 Windows Extended is 80-bit, on x86_64 Linux, i386 macOS and i386 
iOS simulator it's 128-bit and on all other platforms (which includes 
x86_64 Windows) it's 64-bit.

So Delphi went the same way as we did.
