i'll try, but right now i'm just killing time as my wife's labor pains are
only 8 minutes apart.  8^)

i thought gcc would produce smaller and faster code.

as i recall, the gcc binary was ~850K unstripped.

the binary for the one built from stock is:

-rwsr-xr-x  1 games   games    708895 Jun 28 00:07 nethack

oh well.

i'll try and put it on osu sometime over the weekend.

unless someone beats me to it.
