Everything is OK, as far as I can tell, using freshly downloaded
tar.gz.
Building from the port makes the 8192 byte executable, which is
what is in the 2.2.6 package.
If one builds directly from the tar file (i.e. no FreeBSD patches),
just setting REAL_DAEMON_DIR in the tar's makefile, one gets the
19xxx --> strip --> 16xxx executable.
The difference is that in the package/port case, the executable is
dynamically linked to a 'new' library, libwrap.so.XX, whereas in
the "straight from tar" build, the shared library is neither built,
nor installed. (In the latter case, the executable is still
dynamically linked against libc.so.XX). A completely static
executable is >210KB.
The port/package includes several other "important" (they look
important :) other patches, so I would recommend sticking with it,
or at least carefully perusing the patches before preferring the
"raw" version.
