Sorry, what should I improve? At last, you've parsed my message correctly.
Are you saying that (a) before changing the library you have a program that compiles ok (b) after changing the library, the program becomes gigantic and won't link ?
Yes, I say (a) and (b)
Nothing to do with *running* the program?
Right, no run-time problem.
If I have understood right, what are the sizes of the .o files in (a) and (b)? Has one (or lots) gotten gigantic?
Yes, one .o file has (a) 150 KB before and (b) 4 MB after the library change. I assume, I should supply a test case (to glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org). I'll do so later. Better, do not commit the patch I've sent you to Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ before this issue is settled. Christian
