large size binaries after compile on Solaris2.6?

Hi all,
I just complied and configured bind8.2.2p5 in what I thought to be
successfully on a solaris 2.6 sun box.  But after completing my testing I
noticed a fair bit of disk space had been chewed up.  Initial comparison
between file sizes on my Sun box to those on a test RH6.0 box showed those
on the sun box to be a fair bit larger eg:

sun:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     staff    7145336 Nov  1 05:06 named
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     staff       6463 Nov  1 05:06 named-bootconf
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     staff    5049996 Nov  1 05:06 named-xfer
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     staff     447452 Nov  1 05:06 ndc

rh6.0:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       531728 Mar 31  1999 named
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         6463 Jun 21 15:25 named-bootconf
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       280928 Mar 31  1999 named-xfer
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root        38368 Mar 31  1999 ndc

Note: the binaries on the rh6.0 box are those that came with the dist. and
don't support named -version but show as 8.2 in the log file

When compiling I just followed the instructions

make stdlinks
make clean
make depend
make all
make install

and didn't change anything in port/solaris

Is this large file size normal or should I have compiled it in a different
manner?

regards

ashley martin
