I have compiled a library for 64 bit mips big-endian system . and I
find that the size of this is considerably more than the compiled code for i386 32 bit. Is this a
normal behavior ? and what is or could be the reason.?
How much is "considerably more" ?
It's normal for typical RISC architectures (like MIPS) to have lower code density, compared to typical CISC architectiures (like IA-32), sometimes resulting in up to twice as big code size.
