[Xorp-hackers] Size of xorps binaries

I just noticed after compiling xorp on my Linux
laptop the size of the binaries are approximately
twice that of the binaries compiled on a FreeBSD
machine. Why is this?
The xorpsh is just huge - 26MB! And the bgp
process weighs in at a hefty 44MB.

Could this also be the reason it takes ~30 seconds
to start the fea, rib and an ospf process?
IMHO that's a very long time.

Anything that could be fixed or is it something
you just have to accept?
