ELF size Difference between ARM & x86

[Vikram T. Nagarajan]

Hi Arm Bees,       I am working on a project that is targetted for strongARM 1110. I am using the precompiled Linux tool Chain (arm-linux). I can see the difference in the binaries generated.       In x86 the ELF garbaga collector is used. But I compiled my project with out that even then the size difference is 8 MB (x86 Size == 12 MB, ARM Binary == 20 MB).       Can any one let me know the reason for this amount of size difference     What's the normal ratio of difference in size     What are the measures to control the same   Help in this regard will be greatly appeciated!!!   Thanks / Warm Regards, Vikram T N
