Are you sure these kernels are feature-equivalent?

They may not be feature-equivalent in reality, but it's hard to generate something that has the features (or lack there-of) of old kernels these days. Which is problematic.


Probably.


But some of it is likely also compilers. gcc does insane padding in many cases these days.


2.6.14 `make allnoconfig':

gcc-2.95.4:

bix:/usr/src/25> size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename
	 665502  152379   55120  873001   d5229 vmlinux

gcc version 4.1.0 20050513 (experimental):

	bix:/usr/src/25> size vmlinux
	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	 761415  151851   55280  968546   ec762 vmlinux

Was this with -Os or ???
