Do you have a lot of templates or inlined methods?
Or use such from the standard headers?

Also if you do a lot of inheriting from large classes, note that all
the classes contain all the members from everything above in your
inheritance tree (at least with GCC generated code) whereas in C
typical C-code just a pointer to parent "class" is used.

Which libstdc++ library is used on MiNT?  At least the one coming with
GCC on Linux did also huge static binaries few years ago because you
could easily get all of the iostreams stuff linked in if you output
anything with it.

I would guess that by using plain stdio you could reduce the binary
size a lot.
