| It's worth noting that valen's binary had strip run on it.
he was also comparing with embedded systems,
where the most interesting "size" numbers are
usually the static and dynamic memory sizes,
not the executable file size. the static memory
size can be estimated with size(1). strip(1) does
not effect this, but does change the file size.
hence, I used `size' and completely ignored the
file size (which depends on the format, e.g., ELF,
COFF, &tc, even when the compiled code is identical,
as well as whether or not its been `strip'ped, built
with extra debug info (e.g., `gcc -g'), and so on).
cheers!
