For x86, native code compiler:

 520 -rwxrwxr-x    1 skaller  skaller    525379 Nov 15 02:18 flxl
 800 -rwxrwxr-x    1 skaller  skaller    812242 Nov 15 02:18 flxp
 872 -rwxrwxr-x    1 skaller  skaller    887235 Nov 15 02:18 flxm
 920 -rwxrwxr-x    1 skaller  skaller    934253 Nov 15 02:18 flxd
1184 -rwxrwxr-x    1 skaller  skaller   1205490 Nov 15 02:18 flxb
1368 -rwxrwxr-x    1 skaller  skaller   1393890 Nov 15 02:18 flxg

Each program listed is the same as the previous one,
but adds a few more modules: flxl is a lexer,
flxp lex and parse, flxm macro processes, flxd also
does some desugaring (term rewriting), flxb binds code
(does lookups) and flxg generates code (C++ text is output).

Although not evident from this data, the sizes are
roughly proportional to the input text.

A count on the source code is:

 31427  116463  835506 total

[which includes regeression tests, documentation etc ..]
