Yeah, but with shared libraries it's not too much worse. (The numbers
are still wrong though.)
As I've probably said before, trimming down the exported interfaces to
something reasonable (e.g., not defining the internals of certain
structures that we can provide accessor functions for) would greatly
reduce the debugging information spewed out by the compiler. It would
also permit us to change the krb5 internals without breaking as many
applications, if, say, we come up with a much more efficient memory
allocation strategy. But if we expose all the internals, programmers
will use them....
