Here we go:

I had assumed error = processor error (= compiler error for FPC)
Because "processors may report on such errors" for me implies the "error" is
detected and reported during processing (=compiling): nowhere it is said that a
processor creates an executable. (maybe earlier in the text it does, but I
don't know that)

But other than that, I mostly agree with your reading of the text.
