Well, major difference here is - as you already mentioned - the fact that mingw-w64 provides some helper-routines (as described by msdn) in ws2_32 and some other libraries. Also the uuid-library is a bit bigger. Also we provide some of the intrinsic-function as inline-code, which might be responsible for some size-improvment - but better optimization - you notice. Btw have you checked size with debugging-information, or without? Regards, Kai
