[H-GEN] GCC problem

Afternoon to all Autoconf / GCC gurus...

I've run into a troubling problem. I've recently re-compiled Midnight
Commander after adding 4 lines of codes [0]. However I was a tad shocked
to see that the resulting binary weighed in at around 2.7 M, when the
corresponding pre-compiled program from redhat 6.0 is only around 570 K.

I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that the external libraries
have been statically linked. Does anyone know of a way I could check
wether this is indeed the case? 

Or are there be some other reasons why my version is some 500% larger?
