Hello everybody,

what has happened to me is very funny to my mind. Just accidentally I
compiled quite a simple programme

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("\a");
}

to produce a beep. The executable worked just fine, but its size was
400K or so! It was compiled statically as if I used the switch '-static'
while compilation, though I did _NOT_. The same source compiled on
another computer also under RedHat 5.0 occupies only 4K. 

I never edited manually any default switches used by gcc or ld. The only
I did was updating some packages. Still gcc is the standard from RH5.0,
i.e. gcc-2.7.2.3.

I wonder what could happen? I'll appreciate any assumptions. 

Alexei
