Hello BSTRobin, thank you for your reply. Option -fdata-sections tells the compiler to put each variable into its own section, rather than using one .data vs .bss section per object file; this allows the linker to remove variables from the executable that are not needed by the functions actually used, which would not be possible without that option. Using or not using this option should not have such a big impact on the size of .text section, the compiled functions, though; actually, when not using -fdata-sections, code can be slightly smaller (probably because the compiler knows relative offsets of variables and can create more efficient code). What I'm seeing is that functions in the M33F-lib.a are 1.3x to 3x larger than the same functions in M33 or M4F libs. These factors seem to suggest that optimization is not activated for M33F at all. Could you please check again, whether optimization is configured the same for M33F as for M33, M4 and M4F? Regards, Michael
