I'm curious how much space would get saved if the binary was stripped, a step most people forget to run if they're trying to see what a bare minimum binary looks like. Of course, I'm not very familiar with the Mach-O format, but for ELF binaries it can take a 4K hello world from GCC down to a couple hundred bytes.
