Yes, it is. Are you certain that this is with the system-installed

My working FPC 2.6.0 and 2.6.2 also says "Linux for ARMEL".
Incidentally, if I do 'sudo apt-get install <some_package>' I see apt
output like "Get: .... <some_package> armel ...."
It can be any package like 'git', 'mc' etc. My Raspbian is from 2012 -
no idea how to find out the exact version number.
Ok, in that case it seems that there are in fact non-hard float versions
of Raspbian. Your compiler may work because you also installed the ARMEL
version of libc6-dev.
That's another thing:
* Chris may also to solve his problem by installing the ARMEL version of
libc6-dev (package name: libc6-dev-armel )
* however, if he then compiles his program and gives the compiled binary
to a customer, it may not work if they are using an ARM hard-float
installation (unless they also install the libc6-dev-armel package). Of
course, if compiles it for hard float and the customer has a softfp
system, it will also cause problems.
So maybe it would be useful to first determine whether the customer has
an armel or armhf system.

To further add to the confusion, I found my Raspberry did not have
locate installed, so I asked apt-get to get a copy and it obtained:
Unpacking locate (from .../locate_4.4.2-4_armhf.deb) ...
I did locate https://blogs.oracle.com/jtc/entry/is_it_armhf_or_armel and
going by Jim's blog I'm running an armhf system.
So I don't know what I have :(.
