Making small haskell executables?

With the development branch of GHC (anyone know exactly which version this was added in?):

$ ghc -o hello hello.hs
$ strip -p --strip-unneeded --remove-section=.comment -o hello-small hello
$ du hello hello-small
700 hello
476 hello-small

Add the -dynamic flag for a dynamically linked RTS:

$ ghc -dynamic -o hello hello.hs
$ strip -p --strip-unneeded --remove-section=.comment -o hello-small hello
$ du hello hello-small
24  hello
16  hello-small

For comparison with C:

$ gcc hello.c -o hello
$ strip -p --strip-unneeded --remove-section=.comment -o hello-small hello
$ du hello hello-small
12  hello
8   hello-small
