Hi all,
I've just noticed the size of the binary of lyx-cvs:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 aleemusers32768000 Mar 27 11:36 src/lyx*
That's 32MB!
Stripping it:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 aleemusers2473984 Mar 27 11:37 src/lyx*
That's 2.5MB.
Are these figues representative??
I'm using
gcc version egcs-2.

What compiler and os did you sa
egcs-1.1.2 on a DEC Alpha. Apparently (JMarc says) Alpha

Not that much bloat, but Alpha is 64 bit and a close to doubling in
binary size is to be expected.
The gcc linker and compiler are ge
