>Description:
	Statically linked executables are significantly larger on -current
	than in 4.0_RC4.

	Example sides of an application that does nothing:
	4.0_RC4 i386:
		-rwxr-xr-x  1 jmcneill  wheel  20208 Dec  3 22:18 small
	Using built-in specs.
	Target: i386--netbsdelf
	Configured with: /usr/src/tools/gcc/../../gnu/dist/gcc4/configure --enable-long-long --disable-multilib --enable-threads --disable-symvers --build=i386-unknown-netbsdelf4.99.3 --host=i386--netbsdelf --target=i386--netbsdelf
	Thread model: posix
	gcc version 4.1.2 20061021 prerelease (NetBSD nb3 20061125)

	4.99.20 i386:
		-rwxr-xr-x  1 jmcneill  wheel  122816 Dec  3 22:49 small
	$ cc -v
	Using built-in specs.
	Target: i386--netbsdelf

	Thread model: posix
	gcc version 4.1.2 20070110 prerelease (NetBSD nb1 20070603)

	4.99.39 amd64:
		-rwxr-xr-x  1 jmcneill  wheel  155800 Dec  3 21:57 small
	$ cc -v
	Using built-in specs.
	Target: x86_64--netbsd

	gcc version 4.1.3 20070620 prerelease (NetBSD nb1 20070620)

>How-To-Repeat:
	$ cat small.c
	int main(void) { return 0; }
	$ cc small.c -o small && strip small
	$ ls -l small
	-rwxr-xr-x  1 jmcneill  wheel  5472 Dec  3 22:44 small
	$ cc small.c -static -o small && strip small
	$ ls -l small                                
	-rwxr-xr-x  1 jmcneill  wheel  155800 Dec  3 22:44 small
