arm-linux-strip

is the command you're looking for. It strips out debugging and other symbols which will often reduce the executable's size. I don't think it helps with the resident memory size while running, as the linux loader is smart enough to not load unneeded symbols.

You can also do a 'arm-linux-strip -g' on the library files to decreaese their size.

hope that helps!
