I think that since you initially got approval to use the prebuilt binary  to 
bootstrap fpc  that it should be ok.  What i would suggest though is putting 
the logic in the spec permanently to bootstrap other archs  and have a 
defines control that.  Once you have a build that has been bootstrapped.  
build a new version that is built against the fedora built fpc package.
