After reading FAQs and searching ml-archives this doesn't seem to me to be really straightened out at all. I have successfully compiled a quite large seismic processing package in plain 'C' under cygwin32 which consits of quite a few but mostly quite small modules. Using gcc's -s options i get corrupted exe's not running under NT. Avoiding it they run but are too large (for my humble opinion). The other day then I loaded some exe's for cygwin32 down ('man' in particular), found them quite lean and - Not owner! Got suspicious then, tested them under win95, and they seem to run OK. So, is this just the status quo? Or is there any solution to get lean exe's also under, say, NT4SP2 ? I don't think copying the libc++ from Beta 14 would help me anyhow. I would really appreciate any kind of answer !
