This example translates Delphi source directly into an executable.
Does anyone have an example of translating/compiling the source for a
simple Delphi program into an intermediate representation before
"linking" the executable?

Compiling individual units will generate .dcu files, which are object
files. Compiling the project file will generate an executable. It
should be possible to do that from object files without recompiling
or even having the source.

But the project file is source, and compiling it will both compile
and link it. Delphi was not built to play nice with other languages
and build systems. Or to syntax-check the project file (which may be
a complete program in itself), without even trying to link it if the
compile succeeds.
