Ralf,

Would you mind reporting this bug to the binutils list, since you are
familiar with it?  350MB is UNACCEPTABLE under any circumstances.  I
disagree with Gerrit completely, this *is* a binutils problem a needs
to be fixed.  The sooner it is fixed in mainline binutils, the sooner
I can get to work on the qt2 release.

Cheers,
Nicholas
