Hi Guys,

this is not an add for penis enlargement.

I am running linux 2.0.27. Recently I upgraded from :-

     gcc 2.7.2
     libc 5.2.18

To:-

     gcc 2.7.2.1
     libc 5.4.23

Problem is now that I have done this anything I compile is HUGE.

At the moment I am compiling inn. Here are some examples.

    Before: innd=145814 inndstart=7858
    After:  innd=294456 inndstart=123042
   
So I said, "Uh Oh" and went back to gcc 2.7.2 and libc 5.2.18, which gave the 
following results.
            innd=138611 inndstart=7792

This is a curious problem. The only thing that has changed is the gcc and the
libc version in all cases.

Is there something I need to do with the newer gcc-2.7.2.1 in order for it to
give me normal sized binaries ?

The problem isnt critical as I have gone back to the original gcc and libc 
versions, but I cannot stay on them forever.



Thanks
