I'm trying to go from gcc/g++ 2.4.5 to 2.5.7 on Solaris 2.3.  I've
found that objects from 2.5.7 are of "unusual size" - at least twice
as large as those from 2.4.5.  The .text size of the objects hasn't
changed, but the .rodata/.data segments are much larger.

1) Has anyone else noticed this?

2) Is there a rational explanation?

3) Could I have messed up the compiler build in some way?  I followed the
instructions exactly, and have /usr/css/bin on my path earlier than /usr/ucb.

If not, if anybody has any hints as to where to start bug hunting, I'd be
grateful.
