Large libm library
Hello,
I'm wondering, mostly from curiosity, why the maths library is so much
larger in amd64 than the one from i386 or emul/ia32.
amd64 550208
emul/ia32 134464
i386 134464 (another pc)
I have an unstable debian-pure64 install with libc6 = 2.3.2.ds1-20 and
ia32-libs = 0.7
Just as a test I did strip -o libm.strip libm-2.3.2.so but it is no
smaller so I assume it is not debugging symbols.
The reason I looked was because my compiled SETI/BOINC client was taking
~8 hours. I have now compiled on another pc and it links against
/emul/ia32-linux/... and takes ~2 hours. It is only my guess/assumption
that this larger library is slowing things down but if so, won't it
affect anything else that uses it?
Hugh
