Yes. We have already several times discussed the incompatibility between UPX and FPC 3.x.y
I can to avoid it be switching to external linkrer during the complilation process. Or I can use the very olf FPC 1.0.10 version as I code in very ancient syntax not using any later FPC or Delphi extensions or features.

However, other solution is not to use UPX but packer 32Lite (32-bit DOS Executable Packer). It works perfectly.
