Why is my Hello C++ program 6 MB big?

I installed Windows cross-compiler adtools on Cygwin.

And compiled simple c++ program:

"ppc-amigaos-g++ -athread=single helllo.cpp -o hello"

At least it works.

Did you use C++'s streams by any chance (e.g., cout << "Hello World")? If so, then that's probably why. The C++ streams library is rather bulky.

I see you asked the same question on amiga.org, and kolla asked if you had stripped the binary (of debugging info). Yes, unstripped binaries are huge.
