Hi,
Please ignore the first half of the original post. I used the size
command to make a snap judgment on the code without looking very hard
at the assembly I posted. After actually looking at the code I
realized that I created the .o files from the wrong .s files. In this
case the 4.3.5 compiler DOES do a better job.
I still think the questions about the mesh compiles are valid if
anyone has any thoughts.
Thanks (and sorry)!
