Interestingly the size is highly dependent on the architecture:
ballombe@zeta3:~$ ls -l postrm-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ballombe ballombe 6960782 Jan 30 14:10 postrm-amd64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ballombe ballombe 266065 Jan 30 14:09 postrm-i386
ballombe@zeta3:~$ strip postrm*
ballombe@zeta3:~$ ls -l postrm-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ballombe ballombe 4702544 Jan 30 14:10 postrm-amd64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ballombe ballombe 156720 Jan 30 14:10 postrm-i386

IIRC, The FAQ says the runtime ABI is too fragile to be practical
to have a shared runtime.
