Hello,
(Delphi limitation, but probably applies to free pascal as well):
Take following examples:
Tvalue = smallint;
or
Tvalue = word
or
Tvalue = 0..5000;
^ All of these examples are quite bad in the following way:
They become very static, which makes it pretty much impossible to change
Actually wrap back is probably not the correct behaviour for succ/pred.
So it should probably not wrap back.
Instead it could give an out of range error message.
However at least Low and High should be able to be used on the dynamic range
type, so that these limits can dynamically be acquired

That's by design.
These types are pretty much a left over from the days of turbo pascal, and
is a reason why
I have found a way out.
You need to add 'CROSSOPT=-Cpcortexm3' at the end of the line:-
make clean buildbase installbase CROSSINSTALL=1 OS_TARGET=embedded
CPU_TARGET=arm SUBARCH=armv7m
in the wiki page.
Then the rtl builds in thumb2.
