Easiest is to check the files with cygwin "file", and then you'll see:

C:\pp32\units\i386-win32\ptc>file ptc.o
ptc.o: MS Windows COFF Intel 80386 object file

FPC is COFF, and I don't see anything in the referenced links saying
otherwise. The stackoverflow link is quite old.

The first link seems to indicate that VSS can generate both omf and coff, so
let it generate COFF ?
