The reason is simple. DJGPP adds debug info by default which
makes a program appear really huge at times. Run "strip" over that
at the size should reduce. Secondly, DJGPP programs need to
add a stub. That again increases the size. Besides, DJGPP generates
COFF while linux generates ELF. The libraries are different so that again
increases the size.
