Additionally if you need to save space, you can use the strip utility:

iptables    (orig)         64486 bytes
#strip -s iptables
iptables    (stripped)  56612 bytes

Yea! 87.8% of the original size!

(I used gcc 3.4.1 2004-6-11 on iptables-1.2.11 2004-8-12 snapshot)

There are a number of other ways to easily cut the size down much 
smaller and keep the same functionality.
