[indiana-discuss] SUNWxorg-mesa binary size growth in nv_107: gcc vs. Sun cc

[Alan Coopersmith]

I did finally do a build with the new Mesa version switched back to gcc,
and it does seem gcc builds noticably smaller binaries than Sun Studio,
so we may have to revert to the GNU compilers for Mesa in order to fit
on the LiveCD, if we can't find a better fix soon:

Sun Studio 12 cc:
 5.6M   /usr/X11/lib/modules/dri/i915_dri.so
 5.9M   /usr/X11/lib/modules/dri/i965_dri.so
