Is CSiBE compiling for MIPS as well?  If so, check whether they're
using MIPS16.  If not, the numbers are incomparable.

Could you please run 'mipsel-linux-gnu-size' over all of these object
files as compiled by 2.95, then do it again for the same object files
compiled by 3.3.3, subtract the 2.95 figures from the 3.3.3 figures,
and report the results?
