Yep, I managed to build the package on x86-64 now.

I noticed that the %post script is rather verbose though.
I think it needs to be silenced.

The fpc-src subpackage seems rather heavy, considering that
the source is also in the srpm.  Do you think there is some way
to avoid it, or can the examples be excluded from the packaging?

Also since there is no debuginfo, you may as well just disable
the debuginfo subpackage completely.  I use:

 # disable the debuginfo package
 %define debug_package %{nil}
 %define __spec_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress

for that.

Otherwise it looks ok to me.
