It is bad practice to rely in code on the defines defined by the

Of course I do know this (and many more similar portability-paradigms).
But my colleagues do coding only with Delphi (and thus Windows) in mind.
I can't help this. But now "suddenly" (since some 5 years) the company
wishes to support Linux.
I do research on that but I can't force them to to modify their hundred
thousands of code lines on that behalf (_Again_ after they needed to do
this because of the move of Delphi to Unicode). If it's to difficult
they will just say the move towards Linux is impossible.
In each case, FPC will not define the same defines as Delphi.
Of course not, but there are instances like this that are rather obvious
and limited, thus supposedly doable.
