g++ oddity

[Dirk.Eddelbuettel@qed.econ.queensu.ca]

When at the final linking stage of building a C program, gcc is invoked with
	gcc -s -o foobar <all_the_rest> 
I seem to remember that a subsequent strip does not gain any further
reduction in size.

Now, when I do the same thing with g++ for C++ code, strip is able to cut out
a good deal. Is this due to the fact that all we currently have is a static 
libg++ rather than a dynamic one (which I hope will come along soon) or is
there more at stake?
