I was using djgpp 2.01 (with gpp2721b and bnu27b) for a project written in
C++, which resulted in a binary of approx. (stripped) 177 KByte.

Today I tried version 2.03 (with gpp2952b and bnu2951b) and got a binary size
of (stripped) 271 KByte, which is a growth of more than 50% for the same
sources!

Does anyone know why the size increases that much?! What do I get for the
extra 100 KByte?

Maybe I should try a version 1.x to get an even smaller binary doing the same
job?
