I don't know if this is due to djgpp v2.0, or due to its graphics libraries.
I'm wondering why I have much bigger exe size with v2.0 than v1.x.

My graphics program compiled with v1.x (v1.12?) was 146KB, but for 
the same sources, newly compiled exe with v2.0 is 210KB.   I noticed
v2.0 beta gave me much bigger size (217KB), but I just thought that
libraries of beta version might not be optimized.  The released version
gave me 7KB smaller than beta, but I don't quite understand why
I still have much bigger .exe size.  I striped off the symbols from .exe 
and all compilation options (-O2) were the same for those .exes.
(Used libraries are libgrx, bcc2grx, libm, and the graphics program
 use bcc2grx much as it's an image viewer and does some processing.)

Any comments?
