Just did a
size ndr*.o | awk '{sum+=$1}END{print sum}'
in current 3.2 and ended up with 1760980 bytes just text
size of the ndr code. So this is indeed significant given
that smbclient has a text size of 3767921 bytes on my x86_64
OpenSuSE 10.2. Numbers of x86_64 lenny of current master are
4582817 bytes text size for smbclient and 2172402 bytes for
the marshalling code.
