Hi Terry,
first of all thanks for your kind reply.

Ok... I think it could not be related to the problem ... the same gcc on 
debian 3.0 and FreeBSD 4.8 (2.95.x) and the same on mingw and FreeBSD 5.0 
(3.2.x) produce differents size code (linux vs 4.8 and mingw vs 5.0).

There are none of them ... I have tried to search but there aren't or afaik 
I was not able to find them :-)

freebsd:> ldd lonewolf
         libstdc++.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3 (0x282be000)
         libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x28303000)
         libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x2831e000)

linux:>ldd lonewolf
         libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 
(0x40016000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005f000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40081000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Uhm... I am not able to interpret this data. Are they ok ? FreeBSD is 
missing one lib, the last one...

The problem of Makefile is not related IMHO, infact the Makefile.unix is 
the same for Linux and FreeBSD ... the most relevant part of it are:

[...]

So they should act in the same way ...

The thing is so strange ...
