- -N is the switch you use to make smaller programs. Also -s to strip
- the executables helps too (if you don't need the debugging). One problem
- with -N is (I think) that the programs can't be demand paged, so they
- could use more memory and startup time, even though they are smaller on
- disk. Also not using -g saves space if you don't need debugging.
