[comp.lang.ada] Size of DEC Ada Executables

DEC Ada executables are large, not because their compiler produces poor 
object code, but because their linker pulls in ALL code from any package 
that is WITHed.  The have plans to correct this, I understand, but until 
then one (clumsy) workaround is (when code is to be delivered) make 
alternate packages containing just that code you need in the executable.
