I noticed the same some days ago. this is not related to the gcc version but to the default cflags. as for now, most packages come with -g or -g -O2 as default cflags due to the autoconf suite default, which is plain right for debugging. with the same cflags, gimp-1.2 is 2.0Mb (1997900 bytes) in current mdk cooker and gimp-1.3 is 2.3Mb (2323564) in current mdk contribs.
