In spite of the fact that there _is_ some code size increase in 2.0.x
compared to 1.0.x (due to additional functionality - multi-threading,
etc.), your problem stems most probably in the fact that recent
released versions of GNU tools (ld.exe in particular) don't correctly
strip the debug information. The latest GNU sources could solve this
issue. Please, note that it isn't a problem in our codebase, so
there's a little we can do about that. The next version should
hopefully contain a newer (fixed) version of these tools.
