Yes, this generalization is correct. AFAICT, though, only people with a
lot of other, non emacs, files are going to benefit from doing this as
multiple versions of emacs with one root take up the same size as
multiple versions with several roots. This is why msys was in my head.
I have checked now. Building Emacs with no debug reduces the size of the
executable from 120M to about 30M. The overall impact on install size is
as follows. For released versions we have:
170M 24
359M 25
742M 26-deps
412M 26-no-deps
109M emacs-26.2-x86_64-no-deps.zip
211M emacs-26.2-x86_64.zip
So, the size with no dependences has gone up a lot (this data is from
files on GNU/Linux).
For direct comparision with and without debugging we have without:
307M deps
148M emacs-26.2-i686.zip
50M emacs-26.2-i686-no-deps.zip
150M emacs-26.2-x86_64.zip
51M emacs-26.2-x86_64-no-deps.zip
99M no-deps
803M total
and with:
$ du -shc *
401M deps
208M emacs-26.2-x86_64.zip
109M emacs-26.2-x86_64-no-deps.zip
193M nodeps
909M total
So, for the no-deps version, we have a 50% reduction in the zip file
which equates to a 100% reduction on disk (assuming no file system
compression). Obviously for the with deps version, the proportions are
much smaller, but the actual size change the same.
