[comp.sys.next] Smaller Code with GCC

It seems that if you compile your optimized code(-O) with debugging
symbols(-g) your code is larger than it has to be.  Programmmers, and
especially commercial vendors, might see if compile without -g reduces
their code by a page to two.  Every little bit helps.

BTW, I wonder if NeXT compiled their software with -O -g then stripped
the executables?
