[Bug-gnuzilla] icecat browser sources question

[bch]

Hello and good morning (as it is where I am)

As this question may identify, I am quite new to Icecat and building from source etc...

Please can someone briefly explain the fundamental reason(s) for why there is a marked difference in size of source between the different versions.

e,g,: at, http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/icecat/38.7.1/

icecat-38.7.1-gnu1.tar.bz2                   2016-04-08 03:45  224M
icecat-38.7.1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2       2016-04-08 03:38   45M

Thank you for the insight.
