28% binary size increase from v6.1.0 to v6.2.0 (with default configure options) #6860
Description
The node binary has increased in size quite noticeably from v6.1.0 to v6.2.0. Incremental size increases have been happening as more functionality's been added obviously, but this is quite a jump for a minor release.
$ docker run mhart/alpine-node:6.1.0 ls -l /usr/bin/node

$ docker run mhart/alpine-node:6.2.0 ls -l /usr/bin/node
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28704480 May 17 23:05 /usr/bin/node
(28.48% increase)
When compiled with --fully-static:
$ docker run mhart/alpine-node:base-6.1.0 ls -l /usr/bin/node
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24726456 May 6 17:04 /usr/bin/node
$ docker run mhart/alpine-node:base-6.2.0 ls -l /usr/bin/node
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30255656 May 17 23:27 /usr/bin/node
(22.36% increase)
Is this just something we have to live with, or has something gone awry here?
