Have you tried stripping the debug information from the binary? This is
usually the largest part of the executable file. It doesn't really
matter, though, since it won't get loaded into memory (unless you run it
inside a debugger) and users can provide you with meaningful stack
traces from core dumps (or similar facilities on Windows).
