Hello,
I just recently downloaded gcc280b.zip and bnu281.zip, and installed them
in place of gcc2721b.zip and bnu27b.zip.
I noticed that my executables were considerably larger when compiled with
gcc v2.8 and bnu v2.81 than they were originally when compiled with gcc
v2.721 and v2.7. The increase in size was about 100k. Does anyone happen
to know what the reason behind this might be?
It is interesting to note that I uninstalled bnu v2.81 and switched back
to v2.7, retaining gcc v2.8. Now the compiled executable was only about
45-55k larger than with gcc v2.721 and bnu v2.7.
I only have the following files installed:
gcc2721b.zip / gcc280b.zip
bnu27b.zip / bnu281b.zip
fil316b.zip
djdev201.zip
csdpmi4b.zip
Many thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Anshuman Pandey
