not in my case Arun. Well I did the same on my 4 executables and these are
the results...

[narain@hotlips t]$ size a.*
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  10327    1108     308   11743    2ddf a.eg   - egcs
  10327    1108     308   11743    2ddf a.egs  - egcs / stripped
   7209     268     276    7753    1e49 a.gc   - gcc
   7209     268     276    7753    1e49 a.gcs  - gcc / stripped

As can be seen here the bloat is in the text segment and the data segment,
whearas the bss segment is not much...

but what happens when compiling kernels, will not compiling the kernel
with egcs make it look HUGE???
