22mbytes is still a lot of "etc.". i've no objection to optimisations big and small, but that still wouldn't explain the size (to me). FORTRAN H Enhanced did so much with so little! if they combine every language and every target into one executable -- a "busybox" for compilers i suppose -- that might plump it up, but even then ... seriously, i'm just astounded.
