And also you might try the -O3 or -O4 flag. Optimization also tends to 
make the exe file smaller.
If you are still not satisfied, head on to:
http://upx.sf.net
,the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables homepage. It does it's job very 
well, even better than commercial exe packers.
Copy upx.exe into your path somewhere (so you can use it anywhere), then 
use "upx -9 <filename>" for best compression.

Your program, that was 416 KB, after stripping (-s) and upx-ing, was 
reduced to 73 KB.
