Subject says it all: Why is the libc DLL not stripped on potato systems? It enlarges *every* executable (linked dynamically!) by about 100k
It is stripped, with --strip-debug. And whether or not a shared library is stripped does not affect the size of programs linked to it.
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");
}
-------------------------------------------------------------

Try as I might I can't make that link into a > 100k executable unless I link it statically.
