size of binary

[Angus Leeming]

Hi all,

I've just noticed the size of the binary of lyx-cvs:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 aleem    users    32768000 Mar 27 11:36 src/lyx*

That's 32MB! 

Stripping it:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 aleem    users    2473984 Mar 27 11:37 src/lyx*

That's 2.5MB.

Are these figues representative??
I'm using
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)
and have shared library versions of
libforms.so, libXpm.so, libiberty.so, libc.so, libm.so,
libX11.so, libdnet_stub.so
