I just downloaded the gcc 2.8.1 and tried to compile the famous "Hello"
program. the following is the program:

#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
    cout << "Hello, DJGPP !!\n";
}

with the compile option: gcc -o hello.exe hello.cpp -lstdcx
I found the execution file size is 386560 bytes, which is much bigger than
gcc 2.7.2 outputs. For gcc 2.7.2 the execution file size for the same
program is 187675 bytes.

The configuration file DJGPP.ENV I'm using is default setting.

Anyone knows what's the extra information in the execution file ?? Or I
missed any option ??

Any comment would be appcriated. Thanks.
