Yes, I now. I know also that if you do not speak hot, people does not
listen.
By the way, I sent advices about size of fpc libraries more than 10 years
ago.
A lot of "work in progress" as answers but nothing change.

A other thing that I discover: it is extremely sensible to talk about
linkers.
In FreeBSD forum, I was insulted because I reveal that their linker (GNU ld)
was not compatible with FreeBSD multi-arch design.

But, IMHO, if fpc uses a external linker, it is also part of the compilation
process.
And each feature of the linker should be analyzed.

Because I tried already and because I know the (rejected) answer.

Of course I tested it, why do you write this ?

Ha, so you do not know me.
If I do not get my ice cream, I am much more unbearable.
