I'm using the toolchain from arm-2007q3, with gcc version 4.2.1 :

ashok@ashok-desktop:/opt/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin$ ./gcc --version

Hi All,
When I cross compile the kernel for ARM, the final uImage size for the same source varies on two different PC's.
The same toolchain is used in both PC's.
The uImage size built from Ubuntu 9.10 is 2.79 MB and from Ubuntu 8.04 is 4.78 MB.
Can any please let me know, why there is so much difference in the uImage size ?
I believe, It should give the same size from the same toolchain irrespective of the build PC.
Thanks & Regards
Ashok
