samba - Dec 2002 - gcc 3.2 produces huge unstripped binaries compared to gcc2

On redhat 8.0, I compiled samba 2.2.7.

With gcc-2.96 the -g unstripped binaries are about 15% the size of
gcc 3.2...

I've seen this before with other sambas...can someone explain this?

I'm not sure this is a samba problem or a gcc problem (I've only
seen this extreme behavior with samba).
