Is your executable dynamically or statically linked?  The following
small C++ program builds into an a.out file of about 6 Kb, which is
rather small -- certainly not hundreds of kilobytes.

     1  #include <iomanip>
     2  #include <iostream>
     3
     4  using namespace std;
     5
     6  int
     7  main(void)
     8  {
     9          cout << "Hello C++ world" << endl;
    10          return (0);
    11  }
giorgos@gothmog[02:45]/home/giorgos$ c++ -W -Wall hello.cc
giorgos@gothmog[02:46]/home/giorgos$ ls -l a.out
-rwxrwxr-x  1 giorgos  giorgos  6952 Oct 19 02:46 a.out
giorgos@gothmog[02:46]/home/giorgos$ ./a.out
Hello C++ world
giorgos@gothmog[02:46]/home/giorgos$ ldd a.out
a.out:
        libstdc++.so.4 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.4 (0x28075000)
        libm.so.3 => /lib/libm.so.3 (0x28147000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x28161000)
