The kernel coming with Fedora Core 4 ogirinally has "small" modules, for example, /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/kernel/fs/nfs/nfs.ko has the size of 261304 bytes, or 260 K. If I take kernel sources from kernel.org, and use the same config as the kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 was built, the the same module nfs.ko become to 2414088 bytes, or 2.5 M. The same way *all* other modules grow up in size up to 10 times! Why is that?
