That was configure with no parameters (so no, not all engines), and running bzip2 on the executable gives 17.75MB (18,609,468 bytes) and 5.01MB (5,258,140 bytes), respectively. I didn't tar them because - well, it's only one file, and tar isn't really going to change much.

I wasn't able to build with --enable-all-engines - the linker is complaining about undefined references to stuff in Graphics::PNG, used in sword25/gfx/image/imgloader.cpp - but it seems likely that I'd get similar numbers to what Florian is getting, and probably similar stripping and compression ratios to the binary compiled with no configure parameters.
