Ah, yes.
Actually I thought about that while driving into work this am. Didnt
have a chance to do the experiment till I got home.
But, removing the '-g' reduces the *.o file down to 661 bytes, so the
55k size that I repored is all debugging info.
It seems that gcc must not be very careful as to what it includes,- rather
bringing in info from *all* the #include files even though there is only
three lines of code, and one actual variable of any interest.
Problem solved.
