Removing RTTI from binaries

[Mike via D.gnu]

I'm building some code that is heavily templated.  Therefore, I 
have many very small classes.  I was surprised to see my binaries 
growing very large, disproportionately to the amount of code I 
was adding.  I inspected the binaries with objdump and found 
contents of the .rodata section like the following:

Most of my code just uses classes as namespaces calling static 
methods and properties.  The amount of code in my .text segment 
is only a few hundred bytes, but the .rodata section is several 
thousand bytes.

I'm guessing this is RTTI.  Is there any way, either through 
linker scripting, or the compiler to keep this stuff out of my 
binary?

Thanks,
Mike
