  i386, x86_64, PowerPC or Sparc processor
  Win32:
   - MS Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista/7 (Win95, 98 and ME are not supported
 in FPC officially any longer).
 But here is Win95,98,Me explicitly excluded.
 I think, that at first place it should be also excluded.

Yup, and remove w2k and NT(4) too. While they might work, they are no longer
formally supported and tested afaik.

These are not even fixed in trunk, so how do you expect them to be fixed in
the RC? Also we have other bugs as it is and if we'd postpone a release
until all are fixed you'd never get a release.

 Question is: if the first is the target system and the latter the host
 system?

Former, latter refer to what?

Since we are self-hosting not being a target precludes being an host, and
being target only is not well, since the RTL probably uses calls from after
NT4 and w2k.

(unicode and threading/synchronization I would guess)

Point is that it isn't tested even occasionally, so I would not guarantee
anything in a release manifest. Maybe subsets work, but maybe not (if some
newer function is always linked in)
