Someone from Redhat helped investigate and solve the problem. There was
one problem with rpm
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336951) which is fixed.

But there is also a fpc-bug
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337051)

They updated the rpm-package, so that it doesn't crach on it anymore
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337011) but I like to have
this fixed in fpc.

But I think I've heard some fpc-developers talking about this issue
before, are the problems with file-names in the dwarf-debuginfo fixed?
And do fpc follow the guidelines as in the bug-report?
