There is no fixed size here and depends on the number of packages you have and the CFLAGS passed to the programs you build. Naturally if you start building all your code with CFLAGS="-g3 -ggdb" your going to end up with a larger debug info. -- Ned Ludd Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
