Size of Compiled Elements

[John P Baker]

I downloaded and built Mozilla last night using VisualAge C++ 3.6.5.

The EXEs and DLLs built are extraordinarily large in comparison with
the distributed EXEs and DLLs for the OS/2 platform.

For example, the distributed XPCOM.DLL is 657,686 bytes.  The
version built on my system is 7,839,719 bytes.

I suspect that the size is due to the DEF file, which has thousands of
lines of EXPORT data.

Any ideas as to what is happening and how I can fix it ?

Thanks.
