You're welcome.

My money is on exceptions. Compile with -fno-exceptions and see if
it shrinks.

Stripping .o's before handing them to the linker can't be a good plan.
It's not actually gcc that drops core. It's ld/collect2. Stick a

Yes, I really need to go build a current gdb...

I, too, am amazed at the speed things are moving on this list.
