I was using G++. I've prolly used GCC to compile over a thousand programs
over the years. Never have I seen a resultant executable that was 45MB
when compiled statically, or 13MB when compiled dynamically, that could be
reduced to a measly 5MB and 3MB respectively when stripped.
All it was was a keyserver - not an immensly complex piece of software -
it's a rudimentary database/search engine with LDAP support.
