Then again, 332 kB seems a lot of overhead for adding something like an
entry point. I'm starting to get the idea that this problem is related to
my gcc installation. Compiling the same program on a FreeBSD system using
gcc 2.95 leaves me with an executable of 15 kB. Still rather hefty, but a
lot better.
