Apparently, I used core.std.stdio.  When I retested using std.stdio I 
got similar numbers.

About 2 megs can be removed by stripping libgphobos2.a.  I'll start 
doing that now that I know it's possible to separate debug information.

nm test4.exe | grep ModuleInfo

Run for a list of included modules.  The best way to tell would be 
compare outputs with linux.

 From the GCC manual.
-s
     Remove all symbol table and relocation information from the 
executable.

It also looks like the AIX issue was related to the linker for the 
platform and applied to c++ as well.
