@Lady hmm
@aescling hmm?
@Lady i feel like that shouldn’t be happening but i don’t really understand it enough to diagnose. also C sometimes libraries are just built like this so
@aescling i don't know enough about how linkers operate to say. but git does do a huge amount of setup and teardown (see <https://github.com/git/git/commit/3f2e2297b9c88a6ab5fc4bff02cf2a07ce057589>)
@aescling for the record this was without link‐time optimization; if you add -flto the size drops to just under one megabyte
