Fix “==> ERROR: options array contains unknown option ‘!upx'” on ArchLinux

You may bump into following error when installing packages from AUR:

$ makepkg -si
==> ERROR: options array contains unknown option '!upx'

One workaround is open the PKGBUILD file, and spot the line which contains options:

......
options=('staticlibs' 'libtool' '!upx')
......

Remove the !upx, then you can build it now.

Reference:
dropbox: unrecognized !upx in the options array.
