Description Luca Olivetti 2013-03-01 09:07:33 CET

The source rpm of fpc has a line

Requires: gcc

Fpc is a self-hosted compiler, so it doesn't require gcc in any way.
What it does require is binutils, since the internal linker only works for windows.
It also needs the same or a previous release to build, so the 

BuildRequires: fpc

is not specific enough, but I don't know how bootstrapping compilers is done on the build system.
