It is not, nor is a file named fpc anywhere else, as 'find' shows: 

[root@gerencia warren]# find / -name fpc 
find: /mnt/floppy: Input/output error 
find: /mnt/cdrom: Input/output error 
/usr/lib/fpc 

(The last entry being a directory, not a file. fpc isn't in there,
either.) 

Nor does the rpm package I installed contain a file named fpc that is
supposed to go to /usr/bin/: 

[root@gerencia warren]# rpm -ql fpc-1.0.4-2mdk | grep /bin/ 
/usr/bin/bin2obj 
/usr/bin/data2inc 
/usr/bin/delp 
/usr/bin/fd2pascal 
/usr/bin/fpcmake 
/usr/bin/fprcp 
/usr/bin/h2pas 
/usr/bin/plex 
/usr/bin/postw32 
/usr/bin/ppdep 
/usr/bin/ppudump 
/usr/bin/ppufiles 
/usr/bin/ppumove 
/usr/bin/ptop 
/usr/bin/pyacc 
/usr/bin/rstconv

/usr/bin/ is in my path: 

[warren@gerencia warren]$ env 
(snip) 
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:...(snip)

That's what I'm wondering. How is this rpm supposed to give me a working
compiler if it doesn't contain a file named fpc?

No, it is fpc-1.0.4-2mdk.i586.rpm, from LM 8.1 CD3.

No change after exit and relogin.
