.so files in 64-bit Debian builds are 4% larger than they have to be
For some reason, all .so files from the Debian builds at https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_10_2#x86_64linux are larger then the equivalent files in the CentOS build, my own (Ubuntu) build, or hvr's ppa build.
For example, comparing the size of libHSfilepath-1.4.0.0-KsGE6pHE5eZHSN90ZVax6A-ghc7.10.2.so
, after installation (i.e. after strip --strip-unneeded):
build | size (bytes) |
---|---|
Debian | 128520 |
Centos | 124280 |
hvr ppa | 123112 |
my own | 123112 |
Maybe the linker or strip utility on the Debian system where GHC releases are built should be upgraded.
