It sets the used registers value to all, that means that implementation details about a procedure are the same as the value in the interface section, so no recompiles are necessary.

OK I'll add that. What does it do, it's not in the ppc386 -?

in the LCL Makefile.fpc Also a 'make clean' tries to clean the designer dir that has no Makefile yet.

I already fixed that, but didn't commit till I was sure why it was there.

And a last tip. Why is the 'allunits' a program? Having it also as a unit will remove a the linking of the allunits program. The only thing you then have to take care is that allunits.ppu / allunits.o aren't installed when creating a make install target

Hmmm.... didn't think of that. (itst thrown away afterwards anyhow)

The reason for allunits is to let the compiler decide in which order to compile the units and not make

Thanks, Marc
