Actually, it linked fine, but poser complained of bus error while
running the app.

Not if you're not using the 32k reserved for the tcp/ip stack.

Actually, a lot of it is vtables. Some of it is globals from the app,
and the rest is stuff pulled in from libgcc (exceptions, rtti, etc.).
To add to that, I've started using the "-mnoshort" option to force
4-byte ints, which increases the size as well. The way I "fixed" it
was to use "-fno-rtti" to remove information being kept for rtti.
Thanks for the info,
Eugene.
