Hi;

I have built libcurl with openssl all in static mode. In My C++ project, I added the required libcurl.a, libssl.a and libcrypto.a to my project and creates a symple curl session for testing.
My project requires also the following static libs that I have linked with :
* libgdi32.a
* libws2_32.a

After compile, the executable size jump from 8KB into 2.16 MB !!
This is a huge size, especially and what surprise me is that I have added optimization options to minimize for size :

-fno-rtti
-fno-exceptions
-ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections
-Os

But that doesn't seem that curl or openssl takes that optimization options in mind. I am not sure but did I miss to compile either curl or openssl with optimization options, if in case how to rebuild either curl or openssl with size optimization enabled ?

Regards
