Why is the Solaris binary 5 juhp> times larger? My previous posting to this mailing list suggested that Solaris binaries should be just a little larger. Linux, egcs 1.0.2, CFLAGS=-O2: 2314155 Linux, egcs 1.0.2, CFLAGS=-O3: 2441153 Solaris, egcs 1.0.2, CFLAGS=-O2: 2843084 Solaris, egcs 1.0.2, CFLAGS=-O3: 2963692 But I look at my debug builds, and they are almost as big as yours: Solaris, egcs 1.0.2, CFLAGS=-g: 18146604 It is very likely to be debug information that is repeated in all the .o files.
