GCC 4.1.1 for PowerPC generates a 162K executable for a
minimal program "int main() { return 0; }". GCC 3.4.1
generated a 7.2K executable. Mark Mitchell mentioned the
same problem for ARM and proposed a patch to remove the
reference to malloc in atexit
(http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2006/msg00181.html).
There are references to malloc in eh_alloc.c and
unwind-dw2-fde.c. It looks like these are being
included even when there are no exception handlers.
Any suggestions on how to eliminate the references
to these routines?
