[uClibc] Size problem with c++ implementation

[Garrett Kajmowicz]

I'm working on a standard c++ library implementation, and everything code-wise 
is going well.  Unfortunately, compiled code size is quite large for 
executibles.  A iostream "hello world" program linked aginst GNU libstdc++ is 
about 4.3k after stripping.  When linked against my library it is 19k.

Every trick I try (including instantiating templates inside the library to 
reduce code expansion) seems to do very little.

Can anybody give me some suggestions on what I can do to try and reduce the 
size of the final executibles?

All code is being compiled/run on a standard AMD Athlon machine.

Thanks.
