I have to agree with ??? in article 7060 regarding the size of
GNU emacs. When you are running under a window system like X, I don't
think you really need the debugger, news, and mail in your editor. 
They should at least be options.

In addition, the linker is explicitly called with -Bstatic. On my 
Sparcstation, the executable is about 1.4MB.
