How to reduce the binary size of snort?

[S U B A <jv.suri () gmail com>]

Hello All,
             Currently snort binary size after compilation is 8652 Kb (FC9
and 2.6.25.11 kernel), after stripping it is 6488 Kb. How to reduce the size
of the snort binary?
The parser.c is of 268 Kb and why the parser.o is of size 5824 Kb?? I think
because of this parser.o the snort binary size is very large.
Can anyone give some suggestions on how to reduce the size of snort binary?

Thanks and Regards,
Suresh Babu
