Yes, it is normal, in that debugging info is normally included in the
executable. Yes, use strip to strip the executable to make it smaller.
 
BTW, I have posted the patches, on the WinAVR CVS repository, that I use
to build the toolchain using MinGW/MSYS. That way the executables aren't
linked to the Cygwin DLL.
