According to this mail from 2007 
http://www.mail-archive.com/fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org/msg04158.html 
IInterface and IUnknown are the same in Delphi 7 as well as they are in 
FPC (although they are aliased the other way round, but that doesn't 
matter).

So I still say it's Delphi compatible ^^
