Sure, it's got a ton of libgcc stuff (e.g. mul/dev emulation) and libc stuff (e.g. big printf stuff). But it gzips to 100k and objdump shows 23676 instructions, which is 94704 bytes. Hex dumping the file, earth.elf is full of 0s from 0x1a9d0 to 0x4ab000 which is 4785712 bytes. Changing the ISA in the makefile from RV32I to RV32IMAC reduces all the text sizes except earth.elf by 20% to 30%, as expected. text data bss dec hex filename 1224 8 3076 4308 10d4 cat.elf 1694 8 3076 4778 12aa cd.elf 868 1076 2048 3992 f98 clock.elf 2712 2120 2104 6936 1b18 crash1.elf 324 8 2048 2380 94c crash2.elf 4264910 2496 3400 4270806 412ad6 earth.elf 164 8 2048 2220 8ac echo.elf 5346 12 2380 7738 1e3a grass.elf 928 8 3076 4012 fac ls.elf 110 8 2048 2166 876 pwd.elf 2066 1076 3076 6218 184a sys_dir.elf 6074 2120 2132 10326 2856 sys_file.elf 3474 24 3088 6586 19ba sys_proc.elf 1350 8 2048 3406 d4e sys_shell.elf 146 8 2048 2202 89a ult.elf 4291390 8988 37696 4338074 42319a (TOTALS)
