Why should I use the 'new' one? Perhaps because it's better? :) Anyway, are you sure you don't forget to enable optimizations (e.g. -O2 or something more sophisticated)? Are you sure you strip off unwanted debug information in order to get smaller EXE (e.g. strip.exe myprog.exe or even using a command line parameter for GCC or LD - don't remember, sorry)?
