On amd64, glibc iconv modules take a lot of disk space. Compare with x86: # du -s /usr/lib/gconv 197968 /usr/lib/gconv # du -s /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gconv/ 3964 /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gconv/ # ls -l /usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-1.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1054928 Jun 20 11:27 /usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-1.so # ls -l /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-1.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5872 Feb 12 09:34 /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-1.so Why is this? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Probably it's not amd64-specific, since in the previous version of glibc (glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529) on amd64 the size of the gconv dir is small as well (~ 5 MB).
hmm... 28M /usr/lib/gconv/ ayanami net-p2p # strip --strip-unneeded /usr/lib/gconv/* strip: /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules: File format not recognized strip: /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache: File format not recognized ayanami net-p2p # du -ch /usr/lib/gconv/ 5.8M /usr/lib/gconv/ you wouldnt happen to be using FEATURES="nostrip" USE="debug", would you?

Nope. # file ISO8859-1.so ISO8859-1.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped But here comes an interesting thing: # ls -l ISO8859-1.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1054928 Jun 20 18:44 ISO8859-1.so* # du -s ISO8859-1.so 1036 ISO8859-1.so # strip --strip-unneeded ISO8859-1.so # ls -l ISO8859-1.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1054928 Jun 28 09:24 ISO8859-1.so* # du -s ISO8859-1.so 11 ISO8859-1.so Apparently, these files are sparse. I wonder why??
