You should probably test that before you post. I would say this is the
smallest possible regular C program:
$ cat x.c
int main ()
{
return 0;
}
$ gcc -o x-dyn x.c
$ gcc -static -o x-stat x.c
$ strip x-dyn x-stat
$ ls -l x-dyn x-stat
-rwxr-xr-x 1 cmadams users 2816 Jun 6 08:38 x-dyn
-rwxr-xr-x 1 cmadams users 459492 Jun 6 08:38 x-stat
$
I don't forsee a static executable being smaller than a dynamic
executable in the real world. It is possible that somebody could
hand-build (e.g. no gcc, ld, etc.) such an executable, but that doesn't
really count (since that isn't done in the real world).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
