To badly paraphase [1] a quote: "Here, have a $1, buy yourself a GB of

One of the reasons this binary is so small is because it's dynamically
linked, so some space was saved when systems started moving away from
static binaries. If nitpicking is in order, this file's size is still
under default block size (16 KB) and there's plenty of stuff to fit in
there to fill it.
