I strongly suspect that the difference in sizes is due to debug info
(thus doesn't affect startup time at all), and that the extra debug
info is confusing unexec to the point that it produces a bad binary.

Alas, I have no access to a Solaris machine with GCC and Binutils, not
to mention a total lack of time to work on this even if I did.
