Seeing as I had mingw installed, I built the same little
programs with it. Stripped .exe files turned out to be
6144 bytes long.  ldd showed a long list of dlls that
would be dynamically linked at run time, but they are
all Windows dlls -- no cygwin or "custom" mingw ones.
So, maybe this is more what you meant originally.
