The floppy question obviously doesn't concern the compiler, but
the produced executables!
In an example above in this discussion, there were a non smartly
linked scientific program using a few of the thousends of LAPACK
routines. Imagine you want to distribute or sell a set of programs
of that sort. Even compressed, the executables will take tens of
diskettes and occupy too many megas in the destination HD.
