Only to JVM (Java bytecode), and that is not even default, and not
entirely compatible.

(Object Pascal) is generally a quite lower level language comparable
to C and C++, and compilation to higher languages like you name is
generally not useful.

language features (and current java trunk is temporary broken)

If there is a JVM decompiler for that language you can first compile
from FPC and decompile to f.e. Java itself. See http://jd.benow.ca/
Since there are Java2PHP, JavaToCpp etc. available, you may setup a
complicated toolchain to recompile fpc code to sourcecode in another
language.

Ah, I see what you mean. I only meant that it is part of an official
release: fpc 3.0.0 which I took to be default, unlike llvm for
example.
