By not building all the modules, I was able to reduce it to 10.4mb.

CFLAGS="-DSAMBA_SMALLER -O2 -flto -fwhole-program " LDFLAGS="-O2 -flto
-fwhole-program " ./configure --bundled-
libraries=talloc,tdb,pytdb,ldb,pyldb,tevent,pytevent --with-static-
modules='!FORCED' --with-shared-modules='!FORCED' --nonshared-
binary=smbtorture,smbd/smbd --with-system-mitkrb5 --without-ad-dc --
without-ads --disable-python && ./buildtools/bin/waf --
targets=smbd/smbd

If any vendors wish to work with me to make this production, so that
they can upgrade to a modern Samba version in constrained environments,
please do be in touch, as I would be very glad to work with you!

Thanks!
