More information on the code size increase can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3400613&group_id=599&atid=100599
Code size history for some backends can be found in the graphs at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/wiki/z80%20code%20size
and
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/wiki/hc08%20code%20size
it will take time go get code size back to what it was and better for
all ports though.

While I am an sdcc developer and thus get my sdcc from svn anyway I do
know people that would like to see current sdcc in Debian.

P.S.: I also think that a 3.2.0 release should be done sometime soon:
There have been many commits since 3.1.0; the list of improvements
since 3.1.0 has grown quite long:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/wiki/SDCC%203.2.0%20Release
in particular the gbz80 port is usable again, there have been massive
improvements in code size in the gbz80 and hc08 ports and sdcc now
works on the Hurd.
