Use strip.exe
Strip cygwin1.dll
Also, when compiling, try not to use -g.
This causes debugging information to be compiled into your binary.

Hi

How can I reduce the size of my cygwin1.dll file?
The one I have compiled is a *lot* bigger than the one
I downloaded. What switches do I need to give, and
where?

Thanks.
