A lot of this file looks like it was just copied from one of the GNU
C++ ABI files.  Certainly the comments are now wrong.  Is a lot of the
code really appropriate?  i.e. does Free Pascal have the concept of an
RTTI type, or virtual functions, or operator names?

These are listed as C++ ABIs.  Adding one for Pascal feels dodgy.
