Don't know why you have this problem with wheezy, but can confirm I'm
running rpi jessie, and the 'sudo' sequence above works for me ok ie does

I have just done a dist-upgrade and tried again and as you say, I now
have an installed 2.6.2.
Raspbian jessie should have 2.6.4 soon (it's already in raspbian
jessie-staging......).
Raspbian wheezy will be staying with 2.6.0
So it would seem FPC is currently broken on
stable Raspbian which is a pity.
It's fine on plain raspbian, unfortunately it seems that the raspberry
pi foundation are shipping a newer version of binutils which conflicts
with the fpc packaging from wheezy.
Since the breakage is not related to plain raspbian I won't be putting a
fix for this in the main raspbian repository but I intend to set up a
repository for fixes to raspberry pi foundation screwups soon and i'll
post a url for that when it's ready.
