Building Cygwin


I downloaded the source for cygwin-1.5.19-4, and successfully compiled
it using:

    ./configure
    make

My interest was in the ps command.  It runs fine, but when I looked at
the size of the executable:

    146 cygwin-1.5.19-4 > ls -l i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/utils/ps.exe
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 jhedden Domain Users 1335037 Feb 14 10:55
i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/utils/ps.exe*

compared with the distributed binary:

    147 cygwin-1.5.19-4 > ls -l /bin/ps.exe
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 jhedden Domain Users 9728 Jan 20 13:29 /bin/ps.exe*

I see that there is a problem.

What settings do I need to use to get the binaries to be the same
(small) size?
