[SLL] (OT) Asm vs. C revisited

OK, I did this just to be fair:

gcc -Os -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -o hello_c hello_c.c

Size: 6347 B

strip hello_c

Size: 3144 B

So, using the right gcc options, and using strip can significantly
reduce the size of the executable. But not quite as much as
hand-writing assembly code can. But on the other hand, writing a whole
program anything more complex than a Hello World gets to be a pain.
