Hi, Since updating to FreeBSD 7.0, the size of my C++ binaries with debug symbols has quadrupled (on a specific binary I have to work with a lot, it increased from around 200MB to 860MB). If I use gcc 4.1 from ports, the debug size is only a bit bigger than what I used to have with gcc 3.4 on FreeBSD 6. The big size slows me down: linking is a lot slower, and loading the file into the debugger also takes a lot more time. - Why is there such a big difference in size between gcc 4.1 and gcc 4.2? What extra information is included? - How do I turn it off, so I can go back to fast linking and stop fiddling my thumbs a few minutes every time I want to start the debugger? Thanks, Arjan
