There have been discussions on various forums about increased executable size and in particular, compile time, pretty much since gcc-3.1 was in beta. Exe will be bigger than 2-95, even after stripping.
You can get more context on this at the gcc lists: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/ and http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/ For many folks I work with, the biggest size adder is iostream.. Of course, most of them are worried about "Hello World". ;-) Wayne -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
