>Description:
Hi, 

   In the process of NetBSD 7.1.2 (MIPS Architecture) porting, we inferred that binary size got increased drastically when compared to NetBSD 5.1 version.

So can you please confirm why there is a size difference between two NetBSD versions , are we missing any flags in compilation / toolchain ?

During our testing , we conclude that following section size got increased drastically when we compared to NetBSD 5.1

1.eeh_frame
2.shstrtab
3.symtab
4.strtab


Sample Program:- 
----------------
SP.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
printf("welcome to NetBsd\n");
int ind =0;
for(ind=0;ind<100;ind++)
        system("ls -lrt");
return 0;
}

Sample Program Execution on NetBSD 7.1.2
-----------------------------------------
