 We are compiling both with debugging information (-g option).
 
 The size without debugging info is a little larger but not double.
 
 Thanks

    This is not a bug report.  Clearly not all images are exactly
    twice the size as with 3.0.
    
    It's probable that you're using C++ with debug info enabled
    and are confusing the size of the executable with the size
    of the code within that executable.  We switched to dwarf2
    debug information, which at present is a bit larger than
    stabs for C++.  It's also more accurate, so it's not like
    you get nothing for your space.
