The duplication comes from imperfection of the build system. Assuming you selected opion 2) core-linux-x86_64 (DEBUG) to build core and option 4) core-contrib-x86_64, your contrib is built with optimizations and without debug information and your core is build without optimizations and with debug information - this is the reason for file size difference. To keep things coherent I'd suggest skip overlapping files when copying contrib to core.

Hi,

I'm trying to follow the instructions for how to cross compile x86_64 on Linux found at https://arosnews....osted-wsl/ (thank you, the instructions are very complete and detailed to follow). Probably a dumb question, but when I make the Contrib folder there are many files that are the same name and location but different sizes as files as when I made the core system. I'm not quite sure I understand why there would be different versions of the same files in core and contrib. Wouldn't the latest ones be in the core? Anyways, am I supposed to overwrite the core files with what is in contrib or skip the overlapping files? I'm worried there will be problems down the road if I choose wrong and the wrong files are present. Thanks.
