I currently built gcc 4.3.1 using Vincent's patches, because I plan to write a C++ program, so I need it. Vincent did a very good job improving and updating previous gcc patches.
So I'm now compiling any libraries I would need with it. The files generated with gcc 4.3 is bigger than with gcc 3.x. But I don't know if it is because there is more info stored in .o files or not.
As an example, SDL goes from 280KB (gcc 3.3) to 350KB (gcc 4.3.1). I still did not compiled a program, so maybe this bigger size is not due to the generated code.
I'll tell more when I have compiled a complete program, and not only object files or libraries.
