Probably because chown is a relatively big binary. If build as a static binary here, it ends up being: $ pwd /home/keramida/bsd/src/usr.sbin/chown $ make DEBUG_FLAGS='' NO_SHARED=yes all [...] $ ls -ld chown -rwxrwxr-x 1 keramida users - 2297013 Sep 3 03:06 chown $ strip -s chown $ ls -ld chown -rwxrwxr-x 1 keramida users - 550624 Sep 3 03:06 chown $ This will get smaller when crunched, but it's still almost 4x the size of chmod: $ pwd /home/keramida/bsd/src/bin/chmod $ make DEBUG_FLAGS='' NO_SHARED=yes all [...] $ ls -ld chmod -rwxrwxr-x 1 keramida users - 662678 Sep 3 03:08 chmod $ strip -s chmod $ ls -ld chmod -rwxrwxr-x 1 keramida users - 165884 Sep 3 03:08 chmod $ Running nm(1) on the binaries, I see that they have the same symbols though: $ nm -S chmod | awk '{print $2,$3,$4}' | sort > /tmp/symbols.chmod $ nm -S chown | awk '{print $2,$3,$4}' | sort > /tmp/symbols.chown $ diff -u /tmp/symbols.chmod /tmp/symbols.chown $ Does this mean that adding chown to the already crunched binary will not cause a lot of bloat because of symbols/functions private to chown? - Giorgos _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
