compiled program too big

[Mihnea Balta]

Try using this:

g++ -fno-exceptions -O2 First.cpp -Xlinker --strip-all

My results on a 2-line .cpp source:

[11:32am]/tmp# g++ -O2 test.cpp
[11:32am]/tmp# ls a.out
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        11161 Jun 30 11:32 a.out
[11:32am]/tmp# g++ -fno-exceptions -O2 test.cpp -Xlinker --strip-all
[11:32am]/tmp# ls a.out
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         2572 Jun 30 11:32 a.out
