"fpc" was the first mode that FPC supported, so that's kept because of
backwards compatibility.
Why does -Mobjfpc overwrite the assember style?
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...
