Compressing the resulting binary with UPX (http://upx.sf.net) reduces
the size even more -- in my case the executable was about 60% smaller:

$ upx -9 nmap

     Filesize         Ratio      Format      Name
-------------------   ------   -----------   -----------
1189196 ->   496792   41.78%  linux/elf386   nmap
