Were these files created properly ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-05-17 21:33:14] lonnie at abelbeck dot com Description: ------------ Actually Information rather than a bug per se... Upgrading from 5.5.24 -> 5.5.25 Binary is 13.6 % larger Execution speed is 2.8 % slower Cross-compiled and stripped using Buildroot: 5.5.24: 3183328 byte binary 5.5.25: 3617504 byte binary I compared the config.log's, "nm -a" symbol tables, "php -m" modules, etc. and everything looks the same. Does it make sense such a large change in binary size ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69652&edit=1
