Output file size?

[Toralf Lund]

Another "nice-to-have" (not a requirement) for my cross-compilation 
project, is support for a really old (but still in use) revision of our 
hardware that has only 64k of memory. Unfortunately, the size of my 
application is about 80k in stripped binary format when generated with 
m68k-coff-gcc, while the old setup (Microware CC on OS-9) generated a 
file smaller than 50k from the same source (well, nearly the same; I had 
to make changes to be able compile it with gcc.)

Any idea why gcc's output is that much larger? Is there any way I can 
reduce the size? Note that -Os helps a bit, but I suspect that it 
actually destroys the code (asm() isn't handled correctly.)
