Indeed, it is more an issue with 2.6.0-9, or an issue with binutils.

Just asked the release team about their opinion on this on IRC:
[14:30] * Elbrus wonders what the opinion of the release team is with
respect to bug 777027
[14:30] <Elbrus> the problem is actually more in wheezy than in jessie
[14:31] <Elbrus> do you think this should be fixed in the jessie package
of fpc, or should we rather fix the wheezy package
[14:31] <Elbrus> #777027
[14:31] [Notice] -zwiebelbot to #debian-release- Debian#777027: fpc:
fp-compiler-2.6.0 prevents upgrade of binutils -
https://bugs.debian.org/777027
[14:32] <jcristau> i think that bug should be downgraded
[14:33] <Elbrus> so you don't want to have this fixed? Or just not
hampering jessie right now?
[14:33] <jcristau> i don't care if it's fixed or not

If anybody cares and if I am correct, one could just apply
patches/use-bfd-explicitly.diff from 2.6.2/2.6.4 (minus possible fuzz; I
don't have the source yet, so I haven't actually checked)
