Is it 32bit(x86) executable file?

Yes, SafeSEH need applies only to 32-bit (x86) targets. On x64 all exception handlers are noted in the PDATA already.

This report was opened.
But, Internal Tracking Number field is still blank.

This is still not supported in XE4! can Embarcadero provide a suitable workaround for Win32 builds to get SafeSEH enabled or is this going to be available in XE5?
