[fpc-pascal]How to shrink the executable size?

[Lee, John]

BTW you can use look_map.exe (zip file & readme is in
ftp.freepascal.org\fpc\contrib) to analyse the ld(w) o/p file to (try to)
see whats going on in terms of what is linked & how big it all is, [or of
course you can look in the ld(w) map yourself, if you are really determined
& can understand all of the c*** in it]...HTH John

Now I am confused!  When I compile a win32 program using the compiler
and RTL from baseW32.zip snapshot, I have to add -XX on the command line
or the program demands opengl32.dll.  Is the RTL in BaseW32.zip compiled
with smartlinking turned on ??
