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.
