I compiled php 4.3 with apache2 and found out that the binary (libphp4.so) was almost 7.5MB. Then figured out that I had compiled in a few modules(gd,openssl,domxml,bz2,iconv,curl) so I recompiled PHP to make all the modules shared and still the libphp4.so is almost 6.5MB. I dont understand why is the binary so fat even with all the modules shared. I compiled on a Redhat 8.0 system.
