ACE/TAO on RTEMS

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi,

I am havnig some initial success building ACE/TAO.  I have
managed to build ACE and link all the tests without error.
I am now compiling TAO.  It appears that the ACE test executables
are quite large.  Any thoughts:

bash$ sparc-rtems-size *Test
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
2156192	 139232	  43796	2339220	 23b194	ARGV_Test
2156448	 139104	  43796	2339348	 23b214	Aio_Platform_Test
2158960	 139888	  43796	2342644	 23bef4	Atomic_Op_Test
2164400	 140016	  43796	2348212	 23d4b4	Auto_IncDec_Test
2156928	 139104	  43796	2339828	 23b3f4	Barrier_Test
2155728	 139136	  43796	2338660	 23af64	Basic_Types_Test
2167744	 140592	  43796	2352132	 23e404	Buffer_Stream_Test
2247104	 142688	  43796	2433588	 252234	CDR_File_Test
2207968	 141376	  43796	2393140	 248434	CDR_Test
2263824	 144928	  43796	2452548	 256c44	Cache_Map_Manager_Test
2378256	 157392	  43796	2579444	 275bf4	Cached_Accept_Conn_Test
2359312	 154544	  43796	2557652	 2706d4	Cached_Conn_Test
2204864	 141872	  43796	2390532	 247a04	Capabilities_Test
....

I am looking at real .text, not executable file size so that
mistake is out.  

This is a lot of C++ code so there might be some bad combination
of options that is contributing to things.  The compile options
are "-fno-implicit-templates -fno-rtti -DACE_LACKS_RTTI ".  Could
I do better?

I know ACE/TAO can be subsetted but am not looking at that since
I am focuing on building everything. :)
