Apparent good news. With this patch and the hacks I previously mentioned 
for building in a jessie chroot I was able to get a successful build in 
a jessie chroot on the porterbox. I was then able to run the resulting 
fpcmkcfg-3.0.0 in the sid chroot on the porterbox.

I then installed the packages built in the jessie chroot on the 
porterbox into a sid chroot in qemu and attempted to build the packge 
with the patch above but without the jessie hacks.

That build is currently ongoing. If it succeeds I intend to upload it to 
Debian (as a "source all powerpc" upload).
