If you really want to shrink size you should probably consider switching to a
more minimalistic SSL library than OpenSSL. After that, you could opt to
disable a couple of protocols libcurl supports by default but that will be a
much smaller gain.

You can easily just verify which flags are used when the compile commands run.
A source code can't just ignore compiler optmization options at will.

We have a section in docs/INSTALL discussing how Dan builds libcurl to a
~100KB lib on x86 that should be possbile to use as inspiration.
