If we're only interested in one/"not-Mac/Win/FreeBSD" of those platforms, how small could we get programs down to? Is forgoing certain platforms supported?

Also, there was a really fantastic question asked in the last Cosmopolitan thread, but it wasn't answered; what's the answer to it?

If you uncheck the boxes on the "how fat" page I linked above, then static binaries for a single platform usually end up being 4kb. Most of that 4kb is padding nops to page size. The question you linked is now answered.
