Some time ago somebody asked about executable size increase with egcs...
This is the
cause, and this is not very good: __main pulls in register_frame with all
frame exception info
from libgcc, even used with -fno-exceptions, and (at least on i?86) they
are of a considerable size.
This is annoying for lots of small executables.
