That's bad indeed. I've just seen David's latest tests... IMO if there is no reasonable solution for it, removing -s could still be a fallback option, for the reason that watcom/os2 is not a primary target, I mean no one seems to use it for production, in practice we need it only for cross-platform build testing of OS/2 and in this case speed doesn't matter at all. Of course it'd nicer if it's fast, but doesn't seem to be a priority.
