That's about the size I've seen on Linux and BeOS. The extra size appears
to be debugging info, because "Hello world" was 300k with GCC on Cygwin, but
shrunk to 3k after I stripped it. I was just surprised because I didn't
use -g, so I didn't expect to see any debugging info in the final
executable. Guess I should have tried strip first.
