Actually, never mind, I can guess: you compiled with ./configure
CXXFLAGS='--std=c++11 -O2', i.e. you removed the -g flag when
compiling, so you didn't compile in debug symbols. The default
CXXFLAGS are '-O2 -g', and that would account for the extra debug
symbols increasing the library size.

It's got nothing to do with C++03 producing giant binaries compared to
C++11. Am I correct?
