In the second, did your compile *leave out* the "-O2" default option?  That
would account for the huge increase in size, if so.  Adding -m* options are
fine, but you have to make sure the -O* optimize option is still there.

To be sure, if the -O* was still there, use the program "size" on each one,
which will show you the actual size of code (vs. data vs. debug symbols and
so forth) in each file.
