The new bin utils is the culprit and the latest UPX (Nov 2002) checks and
finds that it does not know how to handle the new exes and gives the
following error:

upx: gcc.exe: CantPackException: unsupported coff header

UPX 1.2.4 changes:-
Changes in 1.24 (07 Nov 2002)
  * INFO: http://upx.sourceforge.net is the permanent UPX home page
  * djgpp2/coff: stricter check of the COFF header to work around a
    problem with certain binutils versions
