FPC is delphi compatible with it's calling conventions on i386.

See remark above. There is no difference with delphi anymore. Also note that
the REGCALL define is unsupported. It is only a temporary define used
internally for bootstrapping a 1.9.x compiler. It'll be removed without
notice in the development series after 2.0.
