Since I try to learn something about compilers, I gave it a shot :-)
just comparing the binary even with -Os the ratio dhcp2/dhcp3 is
1/2.6
106312 dhcp-2.0pl5/debian/dhcp-client-udeb/sbin/dhclient
277336 dhcp3-3.0.1/debian/dhcp3-client-udeb/sbin/dhclient <- -Os
416640 dhcp3-3.0.1/debian/dhcp3-client-udeb/sbin/dhclient
