Arm cross compiler - problems

[kripa shankar]

 Hi all
 
 Iam using arm-linux-gcc cross compiler with
 simplescalar configured for arm processor in my
 project.
 my test program is test.c which is 
 
 int main
 {
 return 0;
 }
 
 and i compiled it as
 arm-linux-gcc -o test.arm test.c
 
 The size of the test.arm file is 949567 bytes. when
 i
 execute the test.arm file in simplescalar as
 "sim-outorder test.arm", its statistics shows that
 the
 number of instructions in the test.arm file is
 19747.
 "sim: ** simulation statistics **
 sim_num_insn  19747 # total number of instructions
 committed"
 
 I would like to know the following
 
 1. why is the code bloating happening here???
 
 2. The problem may be that the arm-linux-gcc loads
 all
 its libraries in the output binary file. so is there
 any option to compile a program with arm cross
 compiler without loading all the libraries???
 
 3. I downloaded all the cross compiler components
 from
 
 http://www.simplescalar.com/v4test.html
 "simplescalar arm cross compiler kit"..
 so is there any better version or compiler kit
 available for arm??
 
 I would really appreciate any help in this regard.
 
 regards
 kripashankar
