Binaries are huge


When I try to compile source from tarballs the binary generated
using the the default 'configure' settings is really huge. Is there
a setting to optimize for size? Also, I'm pretty sure I'm not static
linking so don't think that's the problem.

-O flag is used in gcc to optimize for size, use O2 to optimize more and O3 to optimize even more.
