At the very least, compiling under Turbo Pascal for historic reasons.
Unless I'm mistaken, the very first versions of Free Pascal were written in
Turbo Pascal 7.0 because Borland announced it would not make a compiler for
32-bit processors (having moved their focus to their little-known, upcoming
Windows project known as Delphi). Development under Turbo Pascal ceased
once the compiler was able to compile itself.

if we set TP mode, what will happens if $IF is removed/changed?
i still have a lot of TP code here and some of it has been ported to
FPC... some
of that ported code has been recoded to use getopts which allow a lot of
other
code to be stripped out because getopts handles command line options much
better...
