Perhaps nothing. But we have users who complains about big 
executables built with gcc-2.95.X. With gcc-3.0 unstripped executables 
will be larger

For example for following trivial program
--------------------------------
#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
	std::cout << "Hello\n";
}

--------------------------------
after 'gpp -O2 hello.cc -o hello.exe' I'm getting the size of executable
(with gcc-3.0) size 1182238 bytes, after stripping it - 257536 bytes and
after compressing it with UPX 1.20 (option --best): 91068 bytes
