Also, if your kernel was previously version 9 (or 99 or 999 or ...), the incremented version number will increase the length of the version string in vers.c. Someone with some free time on their hands might like to check thru the egcs code to see if enabling debug can affect the code generation. A quick check suggests that the relevant globals are write_symbols, use_gnu_debug_info_extensions and debug_info_level. Generating SDB debugging information (for COFF) definitely can change code alignment, but working out if generating DBX debugging information has any effect on the generated code would take more time than I can justify right now.
