Re: GCC 4.8 Toolchain

So I got RobotPy to build successfully using the frcmake in the VM I made, but I've noticed that some of the output files are significantly larger than the binaries I built with Wind River. In particular, all of the SIP-based binaries seem to be much larger than they were previously, double or triple the size. Looking at the objdump output, there seems to be a lot more symbols in the new binaries compared to the old binaries, but it seems to be mostly C++ gibberish and duplicate symbols.

My suspicion is that something isn't getting stripped/munched from the object file properly, but I can't tell. For comparison purposes, I've attached the nivision.pyd binary output files if someone wants to compare them.

Additionally, I've checked in the CMake build files for RobotPy into the gcc48 branch of https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy.git .
