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

That worked too, now down to 440KB. Well, 2.0.0 should solve p

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
