You're probably looking at the .so; I'm looking only at the .o files.
Though at that, my libX11.so is only 737Kb 'dec' according to size. The
numbers I'm using even include bss, because it was easier to code, but
that only adds 1Kb total so I'm not worried about it.

Perhaps you're using an older version than I am, and JG has been really
busy? Though I've noticed there are quite a few .c files in my Xlib
sources that didn't get turned into .o files when I last built Xlib, so
maybe you're building more of it than I am - though that certainly
wasn't intentional on my part.
