When you use dynamic linking for the EMX and GNAT run-time, you
can get very small executable sizes indeed. (For OS/2, you can shrink
the executables a lot using the lxlite program, which comes with full
sources using GNU licensing.) When doing all this it is possible
to create executables that are less than 5 kB with GNAT on OS/2.
