The problem is that then all XPCom headers must be translated

We have a special macros as I remember for this purposes.
Which is a serious pain. I'd prefer then to let safecall be
cdecl+exception handling, and in the event that Embarcadero - again -
chooses the wrong way, to have a directive:
{$SAFECALLCALLING CDECL}
We have the same for COM/CORBA interfaces, after all.
I think that Linux is FPC territory, it has been for 15 years, and
here we should make the rules when on new ground. In this case that
means preferring the GCC/G++ way instead of some hypothetical or
already proven dead Embarcadero product. In short, it is the logical
and obvious choice.
I don't insist on another calling convention (and moreover in real I
don't want to have more calling conventions). I'm just trying to show
another point of view to find the optimal solution.
Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.
