Subject says it all:
Why is the libc DLL not stripped on potato systems? It enlarges *every*
executable (linked dynamically!) by about 100k
Long Story:
I compiled a short gtk program that I wrote as an example to learn gtk
programming on a potato system. The executable (linked dynamically,
stripped) was > 100k in size.
Then I transferred the program to a slink system, compiled again, using the
same Makefile and presto, the size of the executable shrank to 7k stripped,
a much more reasonable size.
After much searching around I compiled the simplest hello world program on
the potato machine. source code like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Hi folks\n");
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
again > 100k in size.
I doubt this is not a bug.

To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
