If there is THAT much of a difference you are doing something VERY wrong. Either you are accidentaly compiling the binary static (the behavior of binutils changed for recent ELF utils) or you are compilng -g, or you are forgetting to strip the binary, or something. There is going to be some size difference, but not that much.
