Size of oct-files

[José Luis García Pallero]

Hi,
When I compile a simple oct function in octave 2.9.8 or 2.9.9 under Debian GNU/Linux I obtain an exec file whose size is about 500 Kb, but when I compile the same source in Octave 2.1.73 under freeBSD the size is about 35 Kb. I don't understand this huge difference. Some opinion?

P.S.: When I compiled Octave 2.9.9 under Debian GNU/Linux the ./configure command returns:

Octave is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
