For some reason it is much smaller on macOS, and can be smaller when built with -Os clang vs gcc? elf vs mach-o? hmm. would be interesting to know.

Seems to be elf vs mach-o - clang on linux is more or less the same size, actually larger than gcc. Probably also some linking stuff on macosx vs. linux.
