Re: same prog, different sizes

Hi guys,

please provide concise descriptions:

- program to be compiled (f.i. dash x.x.z, file xxx.tgz from site yyy, 
URL to download, GIT reference with download-day or something in this 
direction),
- platform (f.i. Debian testing on ARM / I7... whatever hardware) ,
- compiler ("gcc --version" )
- which dietlibc (file... from URL....)
- what was expected behavior, and what was the real output 
(compiler/linker; from program itself)

Sorry for typos.

Best regards
Erik Weber.
