[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] shared libs oversized

[From: Arno Onken]

Hello,

I compiled some applications for ARM but the resulting libs are 
unusually large compared to the official debian arm feed. For octave I 
used exactly the same gcc and g77 that was also used for the official 
debian feed (as in the build-log file) together with the same configure 
and build commands and the same libs. Still scratchbox created a 
liboctave.so that is almost ten times(!) as large as the one from the 
debian stable feed. I tried to run the small arm binaries from the 
stable feed with the Nokia 770 and they work perfectly but I would like 
to create a package for the nokia installer that requires the 
/var/lib/install path.
Octave is not the only application that results in oversized libs. I got 
the same problem for Interviews.
I also tried to reinstall scratchbox from scratch but same result.
Is this a common problem?

Thanks,
Arno Onken
