-fno-exceptions was missing and someone discovered -Oz (you actually?), 
so it's not so bad now.
Around 10% binary increase instead of 40% IIRC. QtXmlPatterns suffers 
much more than 10% for some reason though, so mileage might vary.

As far as qt-project is concerned the status is SOLVED IMHO. Users 
should pressure google directly for further improvement.
