Subject: [Q] Executable size varies with compile options ??
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1993 05:46:27 GMT

Can someone please explain this to me?

        Compile Options File Type Size

        -s -m486 Linux/i386 demand paged executable 74756
        -s Linux/i386 demand paged executable 13312
        ?? Linux/i386 executable 3392

To me it looks as if the program is being linked statically with the -m486
options. But I get all sort of errors when I try to use the -dynamic option.
And just what is/are the options to make it NON 'demand paged' ? For that
matter, what does 'demand paged' mean in comparison to something that is not?

The prgram that I used to do this was chgrp from the GNU fileutils 3.4.
(I think I should mention that the last file there is what's on my system I
installed from SLS, so I'm not quite sure if it's the same version of the
fileutils).

Thanks,
me
