hmpf, never knew about that one.
good to know about for boot/root floppies where for example:

# ls -lL /usr/local/bin/star
-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin       309580 Sep 17  2005 /usr/local/bin/star

# strip /usr/local/bin/star
# ls -lL /usr/local/bin/star
-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin       273216 Mar 21 19:38 /usr/local/bin/star

# mcs -d /usr/local/bin/star
# ls -lL /usr/local/bin/star
-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin       236908 Mar 21 19:38 /usr/local/bin/star

#expr 309580 - 236908
72672

72k for just one binary matters in that context
