[Gm2] Gnu Modula-2 binary size.

[cwr]

The C program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void { puts("hello world"); return 0; }

produces, when compiled with gcc, a stripped binary of about 10KB.

The equivalent gm2 program, the "hello world" example, produces a
stripped binary of around 100KB, although hello.o is only 3.5KB.

Is there any way of reducing the size of gm2 binaries, and is the
problem documented anywhere?

Many thanks - Will
