You can run 'strip' on the .EXE to remove debugging information. I
haven't checked the CVS sources, but my CygWin installation includes a
CVS.EXE of 1.4 Mb that reduces to 500 Kb after running strip:
$ cp /bin/cvs-cygwin.exe .
$ ls -l cvs-cygwin.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 administ None 1466946 Jan 19 09:15 cvs-cygwin.exe
$ strip cvs-cygwin.exe
$ ls -l cvs-cygwin.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 administ None 540672 Jan 19 09:15 cvs-cygwin.exe
I think you can also put the -s linker option in LDFLAGS prior to
running autoconf; something like
rm config.cache
LDFLAGS=-s ./configure --disable-server
Hope this helps,
- Kristian.
