[Nix-dev] problems building fpc

[Felix Breuer]

Hi!

I am still in the process of building a live DVD. In that process, 
building the free pascal compiler failed. The reason is that the only 
release of fpc and fpcbuild available on the upstream servers is 2.2.2. 
They removed previous releases.

I updated the source URLs and sha156sums accordingly. The changes are in 
the attached PATCH. However I still could not get fpc to build. The 
error is the following. Apparently fpc now depends on GDB. I have no 
clue how to fix this in the nix expression - yet ;)
