   You want all three.

   dpkg-source -x <name>.dsc
   cd <name>
   debian/rules binary

   as root.  

just did it...

compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3 from latest slink - 
libc6_2.0.7u-5_i386.deb is about 586000 bytes,
removed all and recompiled with egcc 
(again, latest slink), got
libc6_2.0.7u-5_i386.deb a bit more 
then 620000 bytes. Checked with
ftp.debian.org - libc6_2.0.7u-5_i386.deb
is around 609000.

Is there is something i've missed?
any ideas?
