Hi Antoine:
	Thanks a lot,
After using strip or modify CFLAGS without "-g", the generated
libfreetype.a is much smaller ( 363K ). 
More, is there any easy/convenient solution to minimize the
libfreetype.a ( maybe just combine used modules, not full modules ) ?

Best regards,
Chris Liang

Why:
Typically (based on the figures) you have the debugging informations
into
your library (this is normal since by default Freetype ships with the -g
option on), RedHat version does not (again, this is correct since a
library
stored in /usr/lib is supposed to be bug-free).

How:
Try a tool named strip, particularly the -S option.
Another option is to use gcc -g1 if you do not intend to debug Freetype.
