=> 65 MB actually...

If you discard the symbols from the object files by running 'strip -s' on 
the executable (I assume it's safe to do), you can shrink that to:
=> 52 MB
If you self-compress the executable with the usual 'upx -9' before 
tar-gzip, you are down to:
=> 48 MB
(with the extra-benefit that the executables, ready to run on disk, will 
take about 50 MB instead of 160 MB

Just my 2 cents.
