Yes, and No
Yes, because they have default settings (which usualy can be overriden) such as

No, because it's still x86 opcodes anyway

the problem is it links with Linux libraries by default

I don't think Borland would care supporting us...
But I wonder if it would worth it to tweak a compiler to do this...
better code a native Pascal environment, or port FreePascal :)
