Size of compiled programs

[Wojciech Moczydlowski, Jr]

  I've compiled the following program with ghc 4.04 and the latest version,
from cvs tree. The first one resulted in about 170KB a.out, the second one
in over 1.8MB a.out! What has happened since 4.04 to justify this change?
Have I done sth wrong?

The program is, of course:

module Main where

main = putStrLn "Hello world"

and the command was, in both cases, ghc 1.c.
