Austin Seipp has written about this in his blog: http://austin.youareinferior.net/?q=node/29
"I will take this time to point out that using the GHC API in your applications results in *large* executables. The Interact example above when compiled with vanilla --make options resulted in a whopping 17mb executable. I've observed however you can mitigate this by an enormous amount using the tools strip and gzexe, taking it down to a light 2.5mb (a size reduction of about 85%)"

Has anyone tried to embed GHC as a library recently? What is the size of the resulting binary? I'm assuming a bare minimum of needed libraries.
