I find that removing any symbolic debugging info reduces the size of an executable by
about .5 meg.
On our system here (Solaris) we use the strip command which I think is standard across
most UNIX flavours, as for other platforms you'd be best looking at what options the
complier offers for including/excluding debugging info.
BTW. If anybody knows other ways of reducing the executable size please let us all know.
