Description dann 2007-12-03 22:42:16 UTC

emacs-22.1-8.fc8 is built with:  -DSYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA=16777216

This is a bad idea, it causes bloat: 

size -f /usr/bin/emacs-22.1
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1611987 20719048              0 22331035        154be9b /usr/bin/emacs-22.1
Look at the data segment size. 
Compare that to an emacs I built:
size -f ~/bin/emacs
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1360562 4074532       0 5435094  52eed6 /home/dann/bin/emacs

Why is SYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA even set? It should not be needed by default.
If it is, then please let me know and I will fix it in emacs CVS.

I have emacs-22.1-8.fc8 and the problem still persists. 
size -f /usr/bin/emacs-22.1 
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1611987 20719048              0 22331035        154be9b /usr/bin/emacs-22.1
        ^^^^^^^^^
       This is 16MB too big.
