Their current release (2015-05-05) does appear to use ld-linux-armhf.so.3

Confirmed. Is that a setting which should have been created in fpc.cfg 
during installation (that bit failed, so I'm giving somebody a chance to 
tell me I should have checked things more carefully when I did it 
manually :-)

Noted, but Google overlooked that one earlier although I was being 
fairly FPC-specific with the search.

Almost there I think, but using a command like

make OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 NO_GDB=1 OPT='-O- -gl -Xs- 
-FL/lib/ld-linux.so.3' all

I get

..

I see discussion in the past suggesting that this was some residual 
eabihf issue, but nothing conclusive. Adding an explicit -dFPC_ARMHF 
doesn't help.

If this doesn't have a blindingly obvious solution I'll redo with a 
newer Raspbian as soon as a colleague finds a spare SDCard.

Alternatively, what's the quick-and-dirty way to exclude a single 
package under the new build regime?
