[GCC] A matter of size ...

["Loic Mahe'" <mahe at twam dot com>]

Hello,

I've just compiled gcc-2.95.1 under FreeBSD 3.1.
Seems to work fine, but there is nevertheless a problem :
the size of the resulting executable files.

I tried to compile the same program (two .C files) with gcc-2.7
(shipped with FreeBSD 3.1) and gcc-2.95.1.

Here a the size in bytes :
c++ v 2.7
 dynamic   9446
 static   92209   

c++ v 2.95.1
 dynamic 398408
 static  441711

Why such a difference ?

Perhaps related to this problem, I have another question :
is gcc-2.95.1 confused by the presence of gcc-2.7 (for .h files
and libraries) ?
I compiled it with --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-2.95.1. Is this option
enough to indicate to the compiler where his .h files and libraries
are ?

Thanks in advance
