"fpc" was the first mode that FPC supported, so that's kept because of 
backwards compatibility.

Because only for modes TP and Delphi the default style is Intel instead 
of AT&T which was chosen as the default for FPC (not the mode, but the 
compiler) on x86 systems.

And before you ask: I don't know why AT&T was chosen as default, maybe 
by personal preference. I personally indeed prefer the AT&T syntax over 
the Intel one...
