  [1266:~] uname -a
  FreeBSD 149.211.6.64.reflexcom.com 4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #0: Sun Sep 17 16:57:52 PDT 2000     root@149.211.6.64.reflexcom.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CJC-DESKTOP  i386

But the source I used to build the kernel was CVSupped Saturday
morning. I was not worried about a world-kernel sync for this test,
but it doesn't seem like that would make a 500kB difference.

What's in your /etc/make.conf, specifically, COPTFLAGS.
