Is the xtensa bintools actually installed? I don't think a Windows build of the libraries and tools for esp-idf exist (in the espidf4fpc repository which is used by fpcupdeluxe to source the required tools and libraries), notice lack of Windows archives here: https://github.com/michael-ring/espsdk4fpc/releases

What output do you get when executing the following:
F:\Work2\fpc-esp32\cross\bin\xtensa-freertos\bin\xtensa-esp32-elf-ld.exe --version

Xtensa bintools installed by fpcdeluxe automatically

OK, then fpcupdeluxe now has a workaround for Windows. Good to know.

GNU ld (crosstool-NG esp-2019r2) 2.31.1

This is a very old version, I would rather expect a toolchain from at least 2021.

Not sure how fpcupdeluxe decides which toolchain to install for Windows unfortunately...

Edit: It seems that support for --abi-windowed was only introduced in binutils version 2.35, which corresponds to Espressif's version starting from esp-2021r1-5-8.4.0.
