Frank,

Thanks, I'd thought of this as you were replying, and am now down to Linux 
5948194, Windows 6277912 with:

export CXXFLAGS=-O2
export CFLAGS=-O2

on Linux, and (so far) editing GDALmake.opt on MSYS.

I'll see if I can find a workable way of supporting the MSYS file system 
root as Mateusz asked.

Best wishes,

Roger
