When you want to use FPC as an alternative compiler for Delphi, then
you'll have to make it output binaries in a way that the Delphi linker
can use. In order to make use of further targets, as already supported
by FPC but not by Delphi, you'll have to update the Delphi RTL
accordingly, and you must add linkers, debuggers etc. for all these
targets. Here the Delphi license gets into the way, so that you'll have
to implement a new Delphi-compatible RTL from scratch.
This suggests to me that your approach means much work without any
practical use, you better create that RTL first, so that it can be used
already in the compilation of FPC itself.
IMHO you'll describing problems he'll never reach. After he gets a Delphi
compiled FPC, he still needs to make the resulting product _work_.
That's exactly my impression, as outlined before. It may be easier to
start a project from the easy side, but chances are high that it will
never reach the goal, when the difficulties increase with every futher step.
