There are larger runtimes.<p><pre><code>    # echo &#x27;main = putStrLn &quot;hi&quot;&#x27; &gt; hi.hs
    # ghc --make -optl=-static -optl=-pthread hi.hs -o hi
    [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( hi.hs, hi.o )
    Linking hi ...
    # file hi
    hi: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped
    # du -hs hi
    10.6M   hi
    # strip hi
    # du -hs hi
    4.4M    hi
</code></pre>
This is against musl libc by the way.
