I had an implementation of fastcall a long time ago, but never added it
since nobody asked for it. I can dig it out and send it to you if you
want to play with it. It requires a change to the backend to handle
the special calling convention (from what I remember, it was a cross
between regparm and stdcall), but as far as I can tell, no change
to linker necessary. Could you please explain why you think the linker
needs to be changed to support it?

Please elaborate why fastcall requires PE header flag change. I'm going
through the MSDN docs right now, but that always takes a while. Pointers
welcome.
