Anyway, JIC we reach too soon the day packages don't fit anymore, perhaps some size optimization in the binaries would also be desirable? >From the pgcc FAQ: ______________ 4.6 Which compiler switches should I use for smallest code size? The combination -O -Os will usually generate the smallest binaries. If you don't use exceptions you can add -fno-exceptions to reduce code size further, although newer binutils can compact the execution table and reduce the benefits. In C++ programs you might additionally try -fno-rtti in programs not using runtime type information. ______________ cheers, Pedro.
