Comment (by NeilMitchell):
Max mentions .lib's of ~2.5Mb, but .lib's can be as big as 60Mb.
An alternative to this patch would be to disable the creation of .lib's by
default, and add a flag -shared-implib to enable it. The email thread
suggests that GNU can link against the .dll's directly, and MSVC can't
link against the .lib's at all - if so then they are a bit useless.
Is there a flag to indicate bugs which contain patches? I think projects
like Mozilla do, and it helps them review and apply patches before they go
stale.
