First, why is the executable so big for such simple program? Around 165 Kb.
As Jaca correctly guessed, the executable isn't stripped. Furthermore it's compiled with -g, which adds debugging information to the executable. The debugging information alone is 94kB large.

What are the most used compiler option to be included?
Optimisations (-O2/-O3), debugging (-g), Ixemul/Libnix (-noixemul), warnings (-Wall), additonal errors (-Werror-implicit-function-declaration, for example, is quite useful)
