Thanks for your efforts. However, I don't understand the difference.

While the checksums do differ, the gcc482b.zip size is almost the
exact same. Ahhh, maybe you meant inside the .rpm only, *those*
executables were not stripped properly?

As an aside, I do think there are some files that don't need to be
included in releases. Correct me if wrong, but I have absolutely no
idea what these do (if anything):

gcc-ar.exe, gcc-nm.exe, gcc-ranlib.exe, lto-wrapper.exe

Just checking some of my older .ZIPs, it seems (for example)
gcc-ar.exe was included in gcc473b.zip but not gcc463b.zip (or older).

Well, I'm also pretty sure DJGPP doesn't support LTO. At least that's
what I recall (not that I need nor want it), so at least
lto-wrapper.exe could "probably" be removed.
