I don't know, you could ask them.  They were very nice about getting
FreePascal to be standard - which was what blocked me previously. 
Also, I need access to the date and time and they were working out a
method for that.  Maybe they could accommodate your need.

Although I like GPC a lot I think it is a good idea to have multiple
compilers available and running.  Then one can cross check them for
bugs.
