Good point.  Continuing on my pedantic rant:
$ cat temp2.ml
let _ = Printf.printf "Hello, world!\n";;
                                                                                
$ ocamlopt -o temp2 temp2.ml
$ ls -l temp2
-rwxrwxr-x    1 bhurt    bhurt      150448 Nov 12 15:19 temp2
$ strip temp2
$ ls -l temp2
-rwxrwxr-x    1 bhurt    bhurt      101500 Nov 12 15:24 temp2
$ bzip2 -9v temp2
  temp2:    2.287:1,  3.498 bits/byte, 56.27% saved, 101500 in, 44387 out.
$ ls -l temp2.bz2
-rwxrwxr-x    1 bhurt    bhurt       44387 Nov 12 15:24 temp2.bz2
$ cat temp3.c
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main (void) {
    puts("Hello, world!");
    return 0;
}
 
$ gcc -Os -o temp3 temp3.c
$ ls -l temp3
-rwxrwxr-x    1 bhurt    bhurt       11228 Nov 12 15:27 temp3
