With this code using win98:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  cout << "hello world\n";
  return 0;
}

Compiled with MingW using

g++ -o big big.cpp

gave me an executable of 438kb
Using different switches to first convert to asm then compile

g++ -s big.cpp -o big2

gave me 206kb
I'm not sure if this can be reduced further other than switching to C.
