Quite important difference and all the stuff gets loaded into memory at startup by dynamic linker. > For a 5 MB reduction I might end up writing a wrapper that runs ld twice :-) You might try GNU-ld's plugin support (I am not sure if it has same problem, but I think it doesn't, definitly not with HJ's double linking branch).
