Using gcc, I would use the following:

CFLAGS = -Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
CXXFLAGS = -Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
LDFLAGS = -Os -Wl,--gc-sections

If you are creating ELF executables, you can also try superstrip: http://www.skarnet.org/software/misc/superstrip.c

My 2 cents...

Interesting, but with -fdata-sections Mingw creates a BIGGER executable for me.

It adds an extra .data section in the executable.
