This is some conflict between the new binutils and UPX. Someone needs to diagnose the problem and provide a fix (either to the UPX maintainers or to the binutils maintainers). This problem has been discussed on the djgpp-workers list, but no one has both the time and motivation to track it down and fix it. I'm personally very unhappy about this (if it were me, I would continue to use the old binutils because of this) - but whoever builds the packages gets to decide which toolkit to use.
