I looked a little bit more in this issue and understood it.
The path /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is inserted by the ld-bfd itself.
One simple way to fix it is to modify the build configuration file as follows:
$ cat fpc-3.2.2+dfsg/debian/deb-build-fpc.cfg 
# FPC configuration file for build system tools
-k-z relro -z now -I /lib/ld-kfreebsd-x86-64.so.1
-Fl/usr/lib/x86_64-kfreebsd-gnu

So it looks like a bug in the port rather than in FPC itself.

However, even after solving this, we have still other issues.
