I should look at that - I tested it last summer when I added the configure
option, but not recently (I thought it was still working...).

The fellow who wrote autoconf decided everyone should have the -g option
(for debugging) on. Some places I've overridden it, e.g., in ncurses,
but probably not here. You can strip it and get a similar size.
I just did a test build here & my ISP's got 2.7 installed, so the sizes
(I did strip my copy):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root ipusers 735304 Dec 4 15:11 /opt/local/bin/lynx
-rwx------ 1 dickey ipusers 1459780 Mar 3 09:51 ./lynx
and the result from 'size':
text data bss dec hex filename
706888 21612 105652 834152 cba68 /opt/local/bin/lynx
1351541 101728 126812 1580081 181c31 ./lynx
2.8 is much larger than 2.7 mainly because of the chartrans code.
(If you compiled with color-style, that would increase it still more).
