My GHC build is now back to the 7.8-era size. Thank you! I was wondering why programs compiled with my GHC 7.8 build were bigger than if I used an official build. Perhaps a bug in the 7.8 build system had turned off SplitObjs. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Binary-bloat-in-7-10-tp5768067p5768274.html Sent from the Haskell - Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
