I did
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) { return(EXIT_SUCCESS); } /* [1] */
A static link made a binary of 435,031 bytes, and dynamically linking is
around 3k (using the default options). So that's the overhead (at least
under RedHat 5.2).
-spc (Still a bit large to me ... )
Given that you are still linking in ctr0.o and libc, it's not surprising
that it's huge. I'd suggest the following steps... Rename main() to start().
Compile the C to assembly (-S option to gcc). Edit the assembly file to
remove all the unnecessary stuff. Assemble the file using "as". Link the
object using "ld".
