Do you have any idea where this comes from? .../lyx-build-debug/src > nm lyx | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | wc 13725 13183 685919 .../lyx-build-debug/src > nm lyx | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep boost | wc 2150 2150 216516 .../lyx-build-debug/src > nm `find . -name '*.o' ` | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | wc 45122 21901 1104130 .../lyx-build-debug/src > nm `find . -name '*.o' ` | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep boost | wc 4035 4035 335711 This seems to indicate by a rough estimation that about 30% of the symbol information is related somehow to boost.
