[Lib2geom-devel] linux build directory size, why 4.75 GB of st* files?

[mathog <ma...@ca...>]

I just noticed today that the linux build directory is enormous, much, 
much larger than
what is seen on windows:

windows \c\progs\inkscape 552MB in 8597 files
linux   /usr/local/src/inkscape_dev4 5895 MB in 6306 files

Most of the difference is to be found in 
/usr/local/src/inkscape_dev4/src where there are
4.75 GB of storage in 31 st###### files.

Presumably from the "st" these have something to do with the STL, but 
why only on Linux?  On
both platforms it is using gcc compilers.  Is there maybe a compiler 
switch we could change
in the linux build to eliminate these?

Thanks,
