[squid-users] Huge squid binary size on RH9

Hi Everyone,

Now this is just weird. I threw together a Red Hat 9 box to be a small
gateway router and compiled up squid like I have done many times before.
At first I was using the 3.0 devel version and figured it's 13 Meg binary
size was just a factor of being the development code. Then I looked at the
2.5-stable3 which I compiled up at the same time, 5.6 Megs! What on earth
?

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 719004 Jun 24 23:26 squid-2.5-stable1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5604909 Jun 24 23:24 squid-2.5-stable3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13064264 Jun 14 21:59 squid.3.0-devel

These are the 3 squid binaries on the machine. The first one is the
/usr/sbin/squid which installed itself with Red Hat 9, then come the 2
binaries I compiled from source code using the usual
    % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid
    % make all
    % make install

I'm not noticing the same bloated binaries with the few other things I have
compiled, mrtg is 77k, webalizer is 129k, basically as expected.

Anyone else seeing this ?
