Anyone know why GDC is such a big program on Mac OS X ?

 15M    /opt/gdc/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin7.8.0/3.3.5/cc1d

At least compared to the corresponding program for Linux:

3.2M    /opt/gdc/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.3/cc1d


I know that libstdc++ and libgcc are statically linked,
but that can hardly make up for the enormous difference ?

Otherwise, sizes are comparable (bin/gdc and lib/libphobos.a)

PS.

After zipping, it's not *that* bad:

> gdc/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.3/cc1d (deflated 56%)
> 1.5M    gdc-linux.zip
But anyway, I still find it strange?

Never mind, found out why after doing a "strip" command:

 15M    /opt/gdc/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin7.8.0/3.3.5/cc1d
3.1M    /tmp/cc1d

3.2M    /opt/gdc/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.3/cc1d
3.2M    /tmp/cc1d


It seems that Fedora Core strips binaries and compresses man
pages by default, when doing install, and Mac OS X doesn't...

I'll just add a little %install step to strip gdc/cc1d,
and probably also gzip -9 the man pages for good measure.
