Binary size of the libstdc++.so library

[Dr. David Gilbert]

Hi,
  I'm looking for anyways of reducing the binary size of the libstdc++.so
library; I'm trying to fit it on an embedded 16MB flash disc with my
application and various other bits of a tiny Linux installation.

  The x86 binary size is 3245727 bytes; building with -Os etc make small
changes but not much.

  Are there any major things that I can do to reduce its size?

(Does anyone know of a mechanism for holding compressed shared libraries
on Linux/x86?)

Dave
