Well, here's the sad news for those of us with Lattice C . . .
I have the Lattice 68000 C Compiler from MetaComCo Version 3.03.04 and
the linker signs on as GST 68000 Linker R132V039.
After compiling the empty program, here are the results:
MAIN.PRG 10264 bytes
MAIN.BIN 73 bytes
I linked using the standard C.LNK file that came with the compiler which
links in the file STARTUP.BIN and uses CLIB.BIN as a library.
CLIB.BIN 55091 bytes
STARTUP.BIN 887 bytes
This sure seems like a lot of extra stuff especially when I compare to what
has already been posted from other compilers. UGH.
I have included the following numbers that have been posted for comparison.
