I build some program (source.cpp) using 3 different compilers. 
Here is file size of executables : 
1) VC5                                68096
2) BCC 5.02                      69632
3) Cygnus b19                   23746
4) MINGW32-EGCC      176149 !!!
5) MINGW32-GCC           26046

Can anybody explain why  MINGW32-EGCC produce so big executable?
 I feel it's probably because MINGW32-EGCC  link statically some libs?
What libs and why?

All executables has been compiled with default options: 
GNU GCC: gcc -o source.exe source.cpp
VC5: cl source.cpp 
BCC5: bcc32 source.cpp.  

The program use the following headers:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <math.h>
