VC++ 6.0 exe file sizes

Any VC++ gurus out there help with a problem I'm getting building the
python.exe file with VC++ 6.0 & win95 osr2. My hd has 4k clusters.

No matter what optimisations etc I do the python.exe seems to come out
as 16384. I reckon it should be around 5k like the 1.5.2 distributed
version (which I think is built using VC++ 5.x).

I see this particular problem, but what about all the other bits of exe
code etc?

You actually got it to compile? Each time I tried, I got an error
message close to "MASSIVE COMPILER ERROR". I tried updating to VS SP3
without any luck. Did you happen to encounter this problem?

I can get the sources to compile the 1.5.2 without any problems, or any
changes.
Configuration: VC++6.0 + SP3 on NT4 Server + SP5.
