*My* hello world compiled to 138948 bytes.  But if you "strip" the binary, 
removing all debugging symbols, it gets knocked down to a sensational 4960 
bytes, which should be more than enough of a reduction, I trust?  To reduce 
executable sizes, use -02 and other optimisations, and strip the binary 
afterwards.
