 Here's another datapoint on FreeBSD intel x86 gcc 2.95.3.
 Stripped statically linked is ~44k, dynamic is ~2.8k not too bad. 
Here's AIX 4.1.4, and an old gcc that works fine here:
stockholm:/home/spectre/src/% cat hello.c ; ls -l a.out ; file a.out ; gcc --version
#include <stdio.h>
void main(int argc, char **argv) {
        printf("Hello world!\n");
        exit(0);
}
-rwxr-xr-x   1 spectre  staff       7545 Aug 23 05:53 a.out*
a.out:          executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped
2.7.2.2
