I upgraded to version 20.1 and egcs 2.95
and now when I compile my programs
using the same options as before
the exe files are over 300 KB.
Before with version 20 the same
programs were only maybe
20 KB. I think maybe there is some
default option in the compiler or
linker that is different. I would
rather have smaller exe files what
can I do?
Thanks for any info

Strip your exe
strip *.exe
If your makefile have gcc -g flag you get debug version of
your executables, which you can strip.

This isn't a real problem. The libraries have debug info in them and get built
into your program. Strip my.exe will reduce the size of the binary.
