Well, it obviously depends on applications. The point of PR23153 is to show that there is a code size regression, and all the PRs that depend on it are showing very specific issues that cause a part of the regression. A more interesting test would be to see the Linux kernel size difference, because if there's any difference there would be some people screaming (unfortunately I won't be able to do that comparison anytime soon, hope someone else will). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23524
