I never claimed it was forbidden ?

I applaud your efforts to provide an OOTB experience, and I think I have
indicated there are plenty of options available for you to achieve what 
you want without the need to change the compiler any further:
- Correct directory structure in a zip
- Installer instruction style wget https://yoururl/ -O - | bash
- wrapper script for fpc itself.
Take your pick...

Michael.
