Well, gcc 3.1 is the first version that adds support for the dwarf2 debug 
information format, which is needed for -g3 (which, for some braindead and 
unexplainable reason is used by KDE's --enable-debug=full). 

So the size increase here is expected, and fairly low in comparison. 

The other numbers are fairly more disappointing though.
