Bloatware!  A quick visit to 6th edition Unix (on 32-bit Interdata)
via the SIMH time machine produces this:

# cat >t.c
int main() {exit(0);}
# cc t.c
# ls -l a.out
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root      164 Jun  4 15:53 a.out
# date
Mon Jun  4 15:53:30 EST 1979

To put this into context:

# ls -l /bin/exit /bin/cat /bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     1436 Nov 13  1978 /bin/cat
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root      192 Nov 13  1978 /bin/exit
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     8316 Nov 13  1978 /bin/sh
