Re: how small can gcc get?
What did you really mean?
I need to install gcc into a disk image that will accompany a gui
application i'm writing.
the application will need to mount the volume on the disk image and use
the gcc that's on that volume.
it needs only to be able to compile extremely simple c apps from a
shell opened from within the gui app.
i'll probably only need to include stdio.h and stdlib.h in the source
files to be compiled.
the host and target are one and the same (for powerpc / mac os x).
the entire package (gui app + disk image with gcc) will be
downloadable, so obviously i'm gonna need to get that gcc install down
into the kilobytes range if possible to keep downloads short and sweet.
