yes, offcause you should compile with the -s option, but what I wanted was
to make even smaller programs. Without debugging information the smallest
programs I can make is still around 20k after packing - which is because
libc and libgcc are linked onto the executable. If you are doing a 64kb into
you don't need things like I/O and such, and it would be nice to not have
support for such things in the final .exe
