It would be interesting to compare llvm. Here are the most recent
FreeBSD packages (effectively installation tarballs). gcc pales by
comparison:

/var/cache/pkg/llvm50-5.0.0_6-b3fff834c7.txz While you're at it, I heard once that the
latest GCC *manual* (>500 pp at
last look) was larger than "the whole Unix distribution". Is there any
truth to that?
compressed (gz), the entire v7 tape 3.5MB. The compressed (gz) source is
250k. Uncompressed tape is 11.5MB while the source is 1.1MB.
gcc 7.2.0 compressed (gz) is 105MB. gcc/doc directory is 13.5MB:
tar tvf gcc-7.2.0.tar.xz gcc-7.2.0/gcc/doc | awk
'{a += $5;} END {print
a;}'
13,470,317
So yea, gcc 7.2 manual is larger than the v7 distribution tapes.
