- G++ is generating HUGE executable files for source code that is only
- five or six lines long on the CS computers at my school
- (pegasus.cs.tulane.edu). A program called "strip" seems to reduce the
- problem to about 180K, but thats still a gross waste of space. Are the
- CS administrators correct in saying nothing more can be done to
- alleviate the problem? I believe they are running a recent ver of IBM
- AIX, if thats any help. I cannot write serious programs if they turn
- out so wastefully big, so please help. email and post please.
