Alright, main problems solved with a simple upgrade.
Same project only 216 KB with the 2.0.0 compiler set up in lazarus
Project/compiler options/compiler tab.
Now it's time to stop playing around with toy Exes and get back to my linux
Elves .

I think that LD didn't get the UPX.. hehe

This is the stripping issue I think, and depends on GNU ld.
However the old ld had some problems too, that's why was d

With compiler version 1.96, one of my command line applications is 1MB (win32)
With the 1.0.6 compiler (using dev pascal) it is just 100KB. (win32)
On linux, 1.96 the application was about 300KB.

two OS's)
