Note that critical factors here are:
1. Optimization level, optimized code will generally be smaller,
but enabling inlining may make it larger.
[C has no language controlled inlining so is not subject
to this behavior, but of course cannot get interunit
inlining either]
2. Debugging symbols. With some compilers compiling with
debugging information can make executables much larger (although
typiccaqlly this is not information that is part of the
footprint of the application in memory).
3. Static vs Dynamic linking. Particularly in small programs,
whether the runtime library is statically or dynamically linked
can make a huge apparent difference in executable sizes.
