Also one may strip the executable if its too large. Though I dont think
700 kb is something that must one bother about :) 

strip --strip-debug executable_file_name or
strip --strip-all executable_file_name

The second may result in smaller executable but it 
strips the relocation info also which may not be a
good option on Windows.

Also if the program uses C++ one may disable the
suport for C++ exceptions which will decrease the file size
too.
