HX, FPC and TryEnterCriticalSection (DOSX)

With the last FPC v2.4.4 it's not possible to run WIN32 binaries using HX. It reports:

dpmild32: import not found: TryEnterCriticalSection
dpmild32: file kernel32.dll

Could it be fixed?

FPC? Doesn't that mean FreePascal? AFAIK this tool has a native DOS version, so HX is of little use here.

Anyway, I don't want to modify any sources of the scheduled HX v2.17.

Yes, Free Pascal. I need win32 to run under HX to get multithreading and dlls. But anyway I've fixed it myself by copying EnterCriticalSection and replacing INFINITE with 0.
