-Mobjfpc and -Mdelphi are different things and mutually exclusive (when 
given as compiler switch).

I guess that -Mdelphi is appropriate.

Probably this means pecoff, not precoff:

-Apecoff

Don't think that this compiler switch is required in this case. It just 
controls the output format - In this case generates win32 pe coff files, 
which is probably not suitable for a Linux environment.

Should be correct.

Yes.
