>objdump -h
This didn't give me quite what I expected, but I think it did lead me to
the answer. The major size differences are in $GDB_DEBUG$,
$GDB_STRINGS$, and $GDB_SYMBOLS$; I noticed that libgcc.a is over 6
times bigger for the second build (the one that used binutils) - I then
remembered that during the first build, it printed a bunch of messages
that -g was only valid when using gas. So I guess the difference is
debugging info in libgcc.
Is libgcc normally just a static library? I specified --enable-shared,
but it looks like the only shared library it built was libstdc++.
