Hi,

I have successfully rebuilt B20.1 under NT 4.0 and can use my version of
B20.1 to rebuild itself, so I guess things are reasonably OK.  My
question is, why are the executables that I built about 10 times the
size of the ones in the distribution (full.exe)?  For example:

My bash.exe             : 1,433 KB
Original bash.exe       : 386 KB
My gcc.exe              : 320 KB
Original gcc.exe        : 66 KB
My cygwin1.dll          : 5,911 KB
Original cygwin1.dll    : 446 KB

I noticed a flag that enables building shared libraries, is this the key
to the problem?  Do I have to disable building static libraries as well?

Any advice appreciated.

Regards,
David
