I'll give it a whirl when I next build FPC, since I play with win32 and win64 optimisations quite a bit. Thanks Marco.

Hello,
Because I got a new (Ryzen 5 2600) machine, last night I worked on improving my buildscript a bit. It is the script that I run after a SVN update to rebuild and install a snapshot.
This mail is both meant as its publishing as a request for comment from people that maintain their own scripts. Since my ISP doesn't allow to attach .cmd's, I put it on my website:
http://www.stack.nl/%7Emarcov/files/buildscript.zip [1]">http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/files/buildscript.zip
The script allows building for win32 and win64, and has several parameterizable options, configurable by editing batch variables in the script, and warns if a step (build or install) went wrong.
I use two copies of this, one for win32 and one for win64. (one line difference). Please read over the first half to check variables.
It assumes a FPC directory (with tools like make etc) in the %PATH%, but allows to use the starting compiler to be specified explicitely. This is so that it works when I have a development snapshot in the path, but still want to start the build using the release compiler.
Also attached is a small FPC program used to measure buildtime.
Again: comments welcome.
