Hi Janet,

It seems to have taken me almost 5 months to actually try those out, but I have done so now so you can delete anything you were saving for me under that directory.

Thus loaded in memory the -mlongcall binaries for a ppc603 take about 7% more RAM than their equivalent without that flag. This isn't as bad as the 20% differences between the file sizes, but I think it's probably still worth keeping two different targets for different RAM sizes - the larger memory footprint will have a subtle extra effect on execution speed because of more cache misses with the larger object code.
