| I am getting very large kernel image size (~4,5 MB) when using the

when

building

image
| size is normal.
|
| This has however changed in some point of OE development. If I use an
old OE
| snapshot and build the crosscompiler with it the resulting kernel
image even
| when building outside OE environment is normal. (Both however use gcc
4.1.2).
|
| I have tried to figure what is different in the environment when
building the
| kernel within OE and outside it but any of the environment variables
and etc.
| have not solved the problem.

| behaviour in the gcc cross-compiler built with it?

framewok for

any valid reasons?
