  From what I understand, with gcc3 the debug info are also still there:

... just a whole lot smaller than with gcc4:

  So I think you should check for a bug in the --disable-debug configure
option.  Running strip on the exe as a separate step should work around the
problem too.  Taking a look at the actual content:

... it seems that the actual overall size of the stripped exes should be
pretty much the same betwen the two compilers.

    cheers,
