           Summary: .o generated by clang is over 2m larger than the one
                    produced by gcc
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

I am looking into why gcc Chrome is ~600mb while clang builds of Chrome are
1.7gb.  (Both with debugging symbols.)  I've attached the preprocessed version
of one of the files that differs the most between the two compilers.

With the same input file, I can generate two output files:
g++ -pthread -O0 -g -c -o profile.gcc profile.ii
../llvm/Release/bin/clang++ -pthread -O0 -g -c -o profile.gcc profile.ii

Their sizes differ significantly:
-rw-r--r-- 1 evanm evanm 4709032 2010-07-01 15:30 profile.clang
-rw-r--r-- 1 evanm evanm 2570352 2010-07-01 15:30 profile.gcc

gzipped file attached.
