How does linking as an object make the binary much larger than linking static? These seem like the same thing to me... either way the object code of libgmp gets added to the binary. Maybe the compiler isn't as smart about removing dead code? Surely that could be done during a post compile phase...

There are two ways to ensure -lgmp uses the .a library
1) remove the .dylib form. Then the link must use the .a as found

Nasty!

2) specify -static -lgmp

This was my first guess too, but i had trouble with -lcrt0.o.a not found. Anyone know what's up with that?
