GNU gold (version 2.20.51-0.20091130.7.fc12 20091130) 1.9
gcc (GCC) 4.4.2 20091027 (Red Hat 4.4.2-7)
Running trunk 20091130 at x86_64. When I rebuild & link mgetty package from
Fedora with ld and gold I get twice that large binaries for gold (both
stripped).
E.g.
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 newman newman 34K 2009-11-30 15:39 gold/pvfnoise
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 newman newman 13K 2009-11-30 15:37 ld/pvfnoise
When diffing readelf outputs I can see that this junk is in gold/pvfnoise but
not in ld/pvfnoise:
Relocation section '.rela.plt' at offset 0xc68 contains 55 entries:
