No, they aren't bloated, but they aren't as small as they could be. I've never been able to recompile the LIBC.A (tried yet again yesterday, unsuccessfully), but using -Os would probably help a little. (Most stuff seems to be compiled using -O2, which isn't totally optimal for size.) There is no "one size fits all" here.

You can always disable cmdline globbing, arg parsing, and/or env. file loading if you want extra space (see CRT0.H). And don't forget UPX. (But yes, 2.04 binaries are noticably a tiny bit bigger, symlink support?? I dunno ....)

If only *nix people weren't so obsessed with using obscure features in the ultra-super-modern latest version of MAKE/BASH/etc. which makes ports so much harder! :-|
