Only options that are valid for the target architecture of the fpc binary should be shown, because showing options that are known not to work or that don't do anything mainly causes confusion.
What about -an which needs extdebug defined before it works? I'd suggest that possibly 'fpc' or 'fpc -?' should display the currently-usable set, but -h which is more likely to be used by people who aren't utter beginners should display everything with [disabled] annotation where necessary.
While on this, I'd suggest that minimally-sensible output in response to --version and --help would be useful since this usage is so common these days.
