How difficult is to teach compiler to remove them during compilation?
I sense a hope that somehow the compiler developments will ultimately be able to turn large Lazarus executables into small ones. It is not realistic.
The WPO features Jonas is working on are very promising, and I think he is doing something unique, I know no competing compiler that does it.
But....The compiler will never be automatically able to remove PNG readers, XML parsers and so on, because the LCL deliberately is designed to make executables handle such data.
What is resonable to expect is that due to advances into making the compiler more clever, occasionally small gains will be achieved.
