According to a diff, this is apparently due to some executables from /usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/libexec/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10, which now have debug info and are no longer stripped, making them 10 times as big. With gcc-snapshot 1:20191130-1, I get: -rwxr-xr-x 1 30M 2019-11-30 08:57:40 cc1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 31M 2019-11-30 08:57:40 cc1obj* -rwxr-xr-x 1 33M 2019-11-30 08:57:40 cc1plus* -rwxr-xr-x 1 31M 2019-11-30 08:57:40 f951* -rwxr-xr-x 1 31M 2019-11-30 08:57:40 go1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 29M 2019-11-30 08:57:40 lto1* cc1: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=48082c3df2f3c926a3c027af59e2906f7c24225f, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped With gcc-snapshot 1:20200124-1, I get: -rwxr-xr-x 1 311M 2020-01-24 12:01:06 cc1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 315M 2020-01-24 12:01:06 cc1obj* -rwxr-xr-x 1 342M 2020-01-24 12:01:06 cc1plus* -rwxr-xr-x 1 310M 2020-01-24 12:01:06 f951* -rwxr-xr-x 1 335M 2020-01-24 12:01:06 go1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 297M 2020-01-24 12:01:06 lto1* cc1: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=27e3f615a396668fe72d9e30bbaaf055ccf5660f, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with debug_info, not stripped Since the Debian changelog just says gcc-snapshot (1:20200124-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Snapshot, taken from the trunk (20200124). -- Matthias Klose <d...@debian.org> Fri, 24 Jan 2020 12:01:06 +0100 I suppose that this change can be a mistake. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gcc-snapshot depends on: ii binutils 2.33.90.20200122-2 ii lib32z1 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1+b1 ii libc6 2.29-9 ii libc6-dev 2.29-9 ii libc6-dev-i386 2.29-9 ii libc6-dev-x32 2.29-9 ii libc6-i386 2.29-9 ii libc6-x32 2.29-9 ii libgc1c2 1:7.6.4-0.4 ii libgmp10 2:6.1.2+dfsg-4 ii libisl22 0.22-2 ii libmpc3 1.1.0-1 ii libmpfr6 4.0.2-1 ii libzstd1 1.4.4+dfsg-1 ii python3 3.7.5-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1+b1 gcc-snapshot recommends no packages.
