🚀 go-pugleaf

I have a library broken into 20 or so source files (one for
each class). There are two small template classes used
as containers.

If I compile it traditionally, a file at a time, and build a library,
the individual .o files are all in the 40k range, and the resulting
library over a meg.

If I instead pour the files through cat and pass the result to gcc
as a single source file (I do a bit of #ifdeffing of the header
file to make this work of course), the resulting library
is only 80k!!!

1. Is this due to the use of template classes?

2. Will gcc 2.5.x help?

3. Anyone have it working for Linux? The FAQs out Linux- way
suggest not.

Thanks, email preferred.
