Ok - how about using objcopy and the --add-section and --remove-section 
switches ?  When you need to resize the fpc.* sections you could use 
--remove-section to strip the old ones of the executable and then 
--add-section to add in the new ones.  Of course this assumes that you 
have some way of recreating the contents of these sections since the 
--add-section switch just reads in a file and dumps its contents into 
the newly created section.
