From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Wuertele Subject: gcc cross mips output sizes too big Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 14:51:08 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: Sender: linux-gcc-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-gcc@vger.kernel.org I've been using crosstool-generated gcc-3.3.3 to build my mipsel targets, and I find that the file sizes are humungous. After stripping the objects, I get file sizes that are up to TWICE as large as similarly generated gcc-2.96 code. Do these sizes not look out of line? bytes gcc-3.3.3 generated files ------- -------------------------------- 1884160 /lib/libc-2.3.2.so 1257472 /lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 1048576 /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.1314.0.0.10 1036288 /bin/busybox 1011712 /bin/bash bytes gcc-2.96 generated files ------- -------------------------------- 1531904 /lib/libc-2.2.4.so 532480 /lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so 495616 /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.1314.0.0.10 462848 /bin/busybox 847872 /bin/bash Compiling with -Os helps, but doesn't get close to the file sizes I saw with my older cross-compiler. It seems strange to me that moving to a newer compiler will reduce the number of programs I can ship in my little NAND flash. Is there some way to generate a more efficient cross-compiler? Thanks, Dave
