That is exactly what is happening if you have a specialization in multiple

At what point are they being removed so that the executable is not
comically large, then? Is it on the FPC side, or the linker side? Or a bit
of both perhaps?
As far as I know, they are not. I believe that when specializing, the
compiler checks if an identical specialization is in scope:
if so, it uses that. If not, a duplicate is made.
As far as I know, Delphi behaves the same.
