Maybe I will just copy the needed things to some 'gpcsystem.pas' and use it instead of system for gpc.
I don't suggest so. People often underestimate the troubles of code duplication. The initial copying is easy, of course, but keeping it up to date will cause unncessary effort in the long run.
Mostly yes, though sometimes you don't want to keep up with all the fancy stuff provided by others, and are happy with you own minimal implementation :-).
As I said, I think we could add another conditional. Perhaps something like `__BP_NO_ALLOCMEM__' (any other suggestions)?
I would obviously welcome it. As for other suggestions, command line option also comes to mind ( --no-bp-alloc or similar), but at the first glance this seems a bit harder to do for System.pas ( I am no gpc expert).
