There is the plan to add software floating point support for Extended to the compiler for platforms like Win64, but it's not a trivial endeavour.

Maybe a silly question, but wouldn't it much simpler to have the compiler not use the Extended type on platforms which do not support it?

Yes. This is what we do. However, it bites us when cross compiling. What to do with extended constants and their handling in the compiler if the target platform has it but the target platform does not support it?
