The debugging information shouldn't make any difference to the size of
the PRC file. The debugger stub (the *linking* with `-g' part) does make
a difference, but only about 100 bytes.

What language are you using? What compiler options? I wouldn't expect
to see anything like those numbers!
Note that GDB can still do a pretty good job of debugging if you leave
the optimizer on. You just have to modify your expectations a little --
a few variables might have been optimized out of existence, etc -- see
