too large c++ executable

[Axel Schmitz-Tewes]

Hi,

first I must say that I am a totally gnu-c++ beginner.I use
cyg-win32B19. I started it because it seems very std-conform to me.
But one thing is very astonishing for me. some little programs (very
little) take for example

#include<iostream>
main()
{
    cout << "Hello";
}

make executables of about 300KB.(my watcom produces about 20KB
executable). So I make big mistakes
in the setting. Can anybody explain which?

Thank you for your help,

Axel
