[iPAQ] Re: [Linux] Compiling Programs

I haven't looked at this yet, but it raises an interesting point:

Does jffs2 compressed -O2 compiled executable take up more or less room than
jffs2 compressed -Os compiled executables?

I'll have to play with a bunch of different programs.

Question:

Does ls -al in jffs2 report the size of the program compressed or
uncompressed?

(I assume compressed, but you never know...)
