I didn't notice those before, but I tried them out. Adding these in the
configure,

--disable-debugging --enable-mini-agent

Reduced my executable to around 1.7MB. That just felt too bloated and I
tried the next step mentioned in the FAQ - to strip! (no pun intended ;) )

The first time, it produced some error about not recognizing the file
format. Took me a while to realize that I was running my host-system's
"strip" utility and not my target's one. With that correction, I've reduced
the footprint to 715KB !!

Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction Dave!

But, I'm wondering, is 715KB how lean we can make it? It IS a lot more
palatable than the 2MB I started with, but I was hoping for something along
the lines of 100 or 150KB. Is this unrealistic, or is there something more
that could be tried?

Puzzled,
