gcc iussue or ... ?

[Gianmarco Giovannelli]

The problem is very simple.
I mantain a unix/linux port of a UO emulator which works really fine 
natively under FreeBSD.

The problem is that if I compile it under FreeBSD it is a binary of 19M, 
while on linux (debian 3.0), same Makefile, is only 2MB. FreeBSD 5.0 and 
OpenBSD 3.1 produce the (about) 19M file.
Mingw compiler under windows act like Linux.

There is no specific differences in FreeBSD/Linux code and the program run 
very nice.

I wrote more detail about obj and data organization here:

If someone of you wants to try by himself to see what happens and why (much 
appreciated), the daily src snapshot can be downloaded here:
http://games.gimbo.org/uo/binaries.pl

or for the lazy ones, , this is the complete link:
http://games.gimbo.org/uo/files/bin/lonewolf/cvs_src.tgz  (about 230kb)

Compiling is quite simple and easy:
make -f Makefile.unix

Any feedback is really appreciated because this iussue is really over my 
(limited) skills :-)

Thanks at everyone...
