[gnu.g++.lib.bug] builtin.cc

fox@allegra.tempo.nj.att.com (David Fox) (01/23/90)

builtin.o contains a lot of symbols, and it is always pulled
into any executable because of the symbol __1xyzzy__ in
gnulib3.o.  Is there some magic reason this file shouldn't
be split into several files?  I found that the "hello, world" 
rogram goes from 50k (stripped) to 25k when I comment out
all the extra stuff in builtin.cc, and appears to work correctly.

xyzzy will be in its own little file for next release.

However, whenever you do you formatted numerical input and/or output,
you will still pull in builtin.o.
