The problem had nothing to do with the math library; I inlined the
function and removed the inclusion of math.h, but I still got a 160K
executable with gcc, and the .o file is still only 48K.  Where is all of
this extra memory coming from?

The program does some calculations copied from a spreadsheet, so it
contains a 23*17 two-dimensional array of doubles, and a lot of simple
mathematical calculations on array elements.
