Just to add another case: The size of my editor is:

GCC 2.7.2.1 + Binutils 2.8 => 3.5 Mb
GCC 2.8.0  + Binutils 2.8 => 5.5 Mb
 
Stripped EXE: between 640 and 800 Kb.

And the needed memory by GDB is huge in the last case, in fast is annoying me 
because I must exit RHIDE after debugging.
And Eli: beleive me or not: After debugging the editor with 80 Mb of virtual 
memory free I can't re-compile the program again because I have 1 Mb or less of 
free physical memory. Normally both crashes: gcc AND RHIDE. I can't understand 
why. Looks like I need 20Mb more of physical memory ;-)
