	I tryed these day to build few aplications (c++ based)
and remarked too huge binaries at output:

see for e.g mozilla:


with: gcc-3.2.3-2 --> 36Mb
36646238 Oct  9 13:58 mozilla-1.4.1-4.sparc.rpm

with gcc-3.3.1-6  --> 71Mb
71547568 Oct  9 02:01 mozilla-1.4.1-4.sparc.rpm

As i remember a little older mozilla 1.4b was somwhere 15Mbytes on sparc
with compat-gcc-2.96, cant confirm exacly i delete those files, but i take a lok in 
RH rawhide and for all these arch what RH build mozilla is 10Mb but not bigger than 14 Mb 
wich is resonable.

Is this a case for bugzilla ? What can cause this problem ?

It is too big, for eg Omni packages is 180Mb with gcc-3.3.1-6 is defeneatly too huge.

Thanks a lot,
Cristian
