Well, while my prepend.pd_linux wasn't stripped, this doesn't help
much:

(snd)-$ strip  --strip-unneeded -R .note -R .comment /usr/lib/pd/extra/prepend.pd_linux 
(snd)-$ ll /usr/lib/pd/extra/prepend.pd_linux
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root 115272 Jan 22 17:29 /usr/lib/pd/extra/prepend.pd_linux

I think, Cyclone links some additional stuff into itself. All
Cyclone-externals seem to be much bigger than necessary compared to
other externals that provide similar functionality:

(snd)-$ ll /usr/lib/pd/extra/iter.pd_linux /usr/lib/pd/extra/drip.pd_linux 
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root   6516 Aug 27 14:42 /usr/lib/pd/extra/drip.pd_linux
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root 114836 Jan 22 17:31 /usr/lib/pd/extra/iter.pd_linux

"iter" is Cyclone's version of Zexy's "drip".

Ciao
