[Samba] Cross Compiling Samba 4.0.6 for ARM increases size of binaries

[pranav desai]

Hi,

I have cross-compiled just the basic samba 4.0.6 using bitbake recipe
for ARM, which succeeded.

However the resulting binaries are large in size. I used  the exact
same configuration options in both the cases.
There is at least a 10 fold increase in the smbd compared to native x86.

Can someone please suggest me how to reduce the size of the binaries?
I have included  the configuration options used.

Regards,

Here are the configuration options I used in my bb recipe.
