Yes, the other gcc's will no doubt have a different amount of increase.
Yes, i386 text sizes seem to run half the size of ia64.
No, I said "text" size, not file size. Meaning with the size command. That same 776 byte size difference in text size showed up in the final vmlinux, which I just verified.
This is not a 'big problem.' It's just a curiosity, for which an explanation might provide interesting insight to what this patch is doing.
