Here's another datapoint on FreeBSD intel x86 gcc 2.95.3.
Stripped statically linked is ~44k, dynamic is ~2.8k not too bad.
I don't think that's as bad as the 45k non-executable word file
saying hello world. At least it's a runnable binary.
# file hello
hello: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
#ls -l hello
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pechter users 43908 Aug 23 07:48 hello
# file hello2
hello2: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
#ls -l hello2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pechter users 2816 Aug 23 07:51 hello2
