Probably a good piece of that is the autogenerated RPC
marshalling in librpc/gen_ndr/ndr_*.c. This is required for
quite a few of the binaries, so it might be possible to put
those into a shared library and so reduce the overall size
of the binaries. There's no magic switch for this however,
sorry.
