Bloatware! A quick visit to 6th edition Unix (on 32-bit Interdata)
via the SIMH time machine produces this:
# cat >t.c
int main() {exit(0);}
# cc t.c
# ls -l a.out
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root 164 Jun 4 15:53 a.out
# date
Mon Jun 4 15:53:30 EST 1979
To put this into context:
# ls -l /bin/exit /bin/cat /bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1436 Nov 13 1978 /bin/cat
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 192 Nov 13 1978 /bin/exit
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 8316 Nov 13 1978 /bin/sh
