I have to agree with Thorsten. The size of executables matters. I have to squeeze a bootable image for thin clients into 4 MB. It was far easier with the older a.out tools I used to use with libc4. I don't want to go back, but I do wish there was a finer granularity for the linker to strip code. For instance: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf ("Hello World\n"); } compiles to 985,018 bytes. This is almost all libc overhead. Most of which is never going to be needed.
