State-Changed-Why:
This is not a bug report. Clearly not all images are exactly
twice the size as with 3.0.
It's probable that you're using C++ with debug info enabled
and are confusing the size of the executable with the size
of the code within that executable. We switched to dwarf2
debug information, which at present is a bit larger than
stabs for C++. It's also more accurate, so it's not like
you get nothing for your space.
