Both, although they aren't necessarily the same problem.

Dmd has steadily been making binaries more bloated for the last couple

There are two causes of this:
1. Typeinfo getting larger, and people wanting more features in Typeinfo
(like precise gc) so this will continue to increase.
2. Every phobos module imports and relies on every other one.
To find out why .o files are large, run obj2asm on it. To find out why
executables are large, compile with the -map switch and examine the
linker .map file. <rant>AFAIK, I'm the only person who ever does

Please, everyone. Once in a while, run obj2asm on the library module
you're developing and have a look-see at what is coming out of the compiler.
