At least with the versions I've currently got available it looks as 
though -R and -Cf defer to -i. Specifically, I see something like this 
in all cases except x86:

   -A<x>  Output format:
       -Adefault  Use default assembler
       -Aas       Assemble using GNU AS

       -Cf<x>     Select fpu instruction set to use, see fpc -i for
possible values

   -R<x>  Assembler reading style:
       -Rdefault  Use default assembler for target

I think the -A output for SPARC Solaris might be different, but I can't 
easily test right now.

Output for -i from native 2.6.0 or 2.6.2, unless noted. Apologies if 
this is excessively noisy.

I've not been tracking ARM or MIPS(EL) on Linux closely over the last 
few months, and have never looked at them on e.g. Android.

I don't have a known-working x86-64 and am assuming that somebody 
(anybody!) else is better placed to check x86 on e.g. Windows. I can 
manage Linux and probably NT if necessary.

I can't conveniently test either SPARC or x86-64 Solaris at the moment. 
I can probably manage SPARC if necessary.

I can't test PPC on Linux at the moment due to hardware failure. Last 
time I investigated FPC didn't run on PPC Mac classic OS. I might be 
able to fix Linux.
