In addition to the other messages here something for the wording
of your question. Do not expect that the executable size
depends only on the size of your source file. Here is
very short sample, which you should compile with

gcc -o test.exe test.c

---File test.c-------
static int dummy[2846700L] = {0};

int main()
{
  return 0;
}
-----End of test.c--------

This will produce an exe-file of about 11 MB!!
