size of XEmacs binary under Sparc/Solaris 2

I am curious, can someone explain to me why for me XEmacs binaries built under Sparc/Solaris-2+gcc-2.8 are always so much larger than XEmacs binaries built under Intel/Linux? -rwxr-xr-x 1 petersen 19678112 May 13 13:37 solaris/bin/xemacs* I don't have the exact size of my Linux xemacs* binary but I seem to recall that it is of the order of 3+Mb. Why is the Solaris binary 5 times larger? ---- Start of included text -----------------------8<--- cut here ------------- petersen[boron]~% ldd ~/solaris/bin/xemacs libXm.so.3 => /usr/dt/lib/libXm.so.3 libtiff.so => /proj2/lang/mule-unsupported/solaris/lib/libtiff.so libz.so.1.0.4 => /proj2/lang/mule-unsupported/solaris/lib/libz.so.1.0.4 libXpm.so.4.8 => /usr/local/X11R6.1/lib/libXpm.so.4.8 libXmu.so.6.0 => /usr/local/X11R6.1/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 libXt.so.6.0 => /usr/local/X11R6.1/lib/libXt.so.6.0 libXext.so.6.1 => /usr/local/X11R6.1/lib/libXext.so.6.1 libX11.so.6.1 => /usr/local/X11R6.1/lib/libX11.so.6.1 libSM.so.6.0 => /usr/local/X11R6.1/lib/libSM.so.6.0 libICE.so.6.0 => /usr/local/X11R6.1/lib/libICE.so.6.0 libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 libintl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.1 libkvm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libkvm.so.1 libkstat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libkstat.so.1 libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1 libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 libelf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libXt.so.4 => /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4 libX11.so.4 => /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4 libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2 libSM.so.6 => /usr/openwin/lib/libSM.so.6 libICE.so.6 => /usr/openwin/lib/libICE.so.6 libXext.so.0 => /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0 ---- End of included text -------------------------8<--- and here ------------- -- Jens-Ulrik Holger Petersen <http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~petersen/> Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University
