You might want to strip the binary after the compilation, or compile without `-g' and with `-s'. Last thing, which makes a big difference, is the RTS being built as a static library. You might think of building the RTS as a shared library, but I don't suggest that.
Does creating a static library force smart linking (eliminating unused code?)
Only on a per-object-file level. There are plans to let GPC automatically split a source file into multiple object files (one per routine, basically) to facilitate real smart linking.
