I suggest that any of the Qt example programs can be used.  For example,
the 'dclock' program has these sizes:

                 2.96            2.98            3.3.2           3.3.2
		dwarf-2          stabs+         dwarf-2          stabs+
dclock.o        121684           131812         252108		278964	
main.o		133392		 143388		263548		294596
moc_dclock.o	158896		 170160		293108		330356

This only demonstrates a 2x increase size.  This is not a "large" C++ program
as GUIs go.  I have to dig a bit more to find out why my other code has a 6x
increase.  But apparently there's libc to should a 10x increase.
