Yes, it's always libc.so.5.4.46.. -fno-exceptions makes NO difference as I
would expect for C executables. And hm, yes, it has to be linking related
since object file sizes are almost the same (modulo .comment section).

The additional size comes from libgcc.c, more precisely from frame.o and
two things use frame.o afaiks: exception handling and dwarf2 unwinding..
but is dwarf2 unwinding needed for C?

At any rate, I ended up with two libgcc.c: one for C++ (with unwinding)
and the other for C (without unwinding) and now the improvement in the
final size is noticeable: 2888 bytes (ecc).
