Compiling Lua for uClinux create larger file than expected

[Mike Crowe <mike@...>]

Hi folks,

This is most definitely my problem, but I'm trying to embed Lua in a 
custom soft-core called NIOS.  I have it compiling fine (haven't tested 
yet), but the size looks ridiculous.  Here's what I'm currently seeing 
(under cygwin):

MCrowe@MCrowe lua $ l lib
total 128
-rw-rw-rw-    1 MCrowe   mkpasswd   130638 Oct 19 21:59 liblua.a
-rw-rw-rw-    1 MCrowe   mkpasswd    92316 Oct 19 21:59 liblualib.a
MCrowe@MCrowe lua $ l bin
total 395
-rw-rw-rw-    1 MCrowe   mkpasswd   403948 Oct 19 21:59 lua
MCrowe@MCrowe lua $

I'm sure it's a compile/linker issue, but it is not intuitively 
obvious.  Here's the flags:

CC = nios2-elf-gcc -c -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pedantic -Wall  
-I(...)/include -D__linux__ -I./include -I. -I..
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-E -msys-crt0=(...)/crt0.o -r -d -L(...)/lib/ -lc

Does anybody see anything flagrant that I am missing?
TIA
Mike
