Description:
For trunk and possibly 2.6.X the currently included UPX 3.0.3 does not pack FPC binaries during make install.
Upgrading UPX to the latest version 3.0.7w does pack the binaries, but they become invalid, even after unpacking.
Since the usefullness of a packer is debatable anyway, I suggest to remove UPX from the toolchain altogether.
Requires adapting the make files.
Steps to reproduce:
make install for trunk with included UPX 3.0.3
make install for trunk with latest UPX 3.0.7w
