I just switched to 3.2-3 and was impressed with the following: Cygwin -O2 -O2 + -Wl,-s -Os -Os + -Wl,-s ------ 2.95.3-10 15178 6656 15178 6656 3.2-3 26710 14336 26008 13824
Linux ----- 2.95.4.CVS 16475 7128 16283 6936 3.2.3 15885 6712 15427 6292 3.3.1 15802 6668 15320 6216 What's so different in 3.2-3 ? On Linux GCC 3.x produced smaller binaries. On Cygwin the size doubled. On Linux all 3 compilers default to -march=i686. I think it's the same for Cygwin (i686-pc-cygwin), no ? For the example I used lndir from XFree86 CVS. I packaged the sources for it at http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/lndir-CVS.tar.bz2 (9323 bytes). -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
