Interesting, since I get similar file sizes after I "strip" the GCC
created executables. The sizes are however quite a bit larger for C++
programs since we don't (yet) have a DLL for C++ runtime library.
$ gcc -o foo foo.c
$ striop foo.exe
or,
$ gcc -s -o foo foo.c
Could you please check and see if you still get GCC created executables
that are 10 times larger than VC++ created ones?
