The "fpc" binary does not have a version number. It reports the version number of the compiler binary that it finds.

PS: "-version" does not mean "print the version". It means enable the e, r, s, i, o and n verbosity switches (but your /etc/fpc.cfg probably contains the -l switch, and the logo includes the version number). -iV is the command line option to make the compiler prints just its version.
