Compiling and building
Compiling a program
Win64 requires the usage of the internal linker of FPC so all programs must be compiled with -Xi.
Debugging and Profiling
There is currently no full debugger support available, we're working on improving this situation. Basic debugging can be done so far with WinDBG http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/install64bit.mspx, the missing dwarf support of WinDBG makes things a little bit difficult though.
GDB for Win64 (beta version) is already available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=202880&package_id=259447

Technical information
We're using our own assembler and linker to overcome the problem of the missing GNU Tools.
