Thanks. That may well be enough to trash firefox all day.

it would be good to analyze which of those .text/data sections are actually visited - i recall someone running the Vivado FPGA toolset, that is notoriously massive (90GB+) over a special FUSE fs that tells you which files were accessed, and then stripping out the ones that weren't, leading ot substantial wins.

to be honest, it is surprising that a toolchain could be 350MB - that is a lot of code, if thats what it is.

That's a good one from Ken Thomson.

   "The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did
   not totally create yourself. (Especially code from com-
   panies that employ people like me.) No amount of
   source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you
   from using untrusted code."
