Shrug. It should be the same code, same size. What's the size of the
final .exe? That's what counts, the static library is just input to
the linker.

That's due to those files missing from the distribution. Some
unresolved bug in the autotools stuff. Grab the git repo,
(https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq2-1), it contains those files
correctly.
