Using the same config.h used under Elate (but defining
MALLOC_ZERO_RETURNS_NULL and SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME, which shouldn't
cause any relevant changes in code size), I get the following:

[yax@ciccillo AmiPython]$ ls -l python Amiga/python.00
-rw-r----- 1 yax yax 551535 Aug 21 09:19 Amiga/python.00
-rwxrwxr-x 1 yax yax 589012 Aug 21 09:47 python

Just a couple of kbytes shorter than the "full" version. Still the VP
binary is shorter. ;)
