PR702 is about object file bloat introduced in recent binutils versions
owing to the alignment of one of the sections having been increased from
4kB->64kB; the linker is apparently placing explicit padding in the output
files. We've been trying to fix this on the crossgcc list[*] without
success, having tried patches to both gcc[**] and gas[***], and I haven't
been able to track down any discussion of this issue from the mailing list
archives.
Does any of this ring any bells with MIPS gurus on the list? Has anyone
got a fix? Is it meant to be like this or is it a real bug?
