Built DRI modules - Can these driver sizes be right?

Folks,
After compiling the modular tree, I have compiled the dri drivers
following http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building. However, I need a sanity
check. The file size for the drivers that were compiled were close to *ten
time* larger than the original driver files. For example:
Old drivers:
providence:/tmp/src/mesa # ll /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri
total 17244
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 368 2006-08-12 16:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 1096 2007-01-18 11:06 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1707932 2005-09-12 18:26 i810_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1777812 2005-09-12 18:26 i915_dri.so
New drivers:
providence:/tmp/src/mesa # ll lib
total 236052
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1008 2007-04-11 21:23 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 david users 496 2007-04-11 21:16 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12836697 2007-04-11 21:22 ffb_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12637458 2007-04-11 21:18 i810_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13923323 2007-04-11 21:19 i915_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14795862 2007-04-11 21:19 i915tex_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15674162 2007-04-11 21:20 i965_dri.so
Can this be right??? Or did something explode and balloon the size of the
driver files during the compile process? Just a sanity check. What say the
experts?
