I would also try the no STL flag. STL usually increase the code size,
and if your GUI code does not talk with any STL lib try it.

-> give this to configure.
-no-exceptions -no-stl

On Linux why not playing with -reduce-relocations

There is also -no-iconv to try. Our program at work does not need it.
But it might be the opposite effect, with iconv support Qt might get
rid of their internal locale transcoder, so the dll might be smaller.
