You've used strip?
man strip
strip - Discard symbols from object files.

Packaging schemes will strip the debugging symbols but when compiling from 
source, it's usually left to you because if you are developing code, you need 
debugging symbols to work with gdb etc.

Stripping one of my own library files compiled from a tarball makes it go from 
53Kb to 9.3kb - a 6 fold decrease that should bring your 3.6Mb closer to 
600kb.

Sometimes, strip can be put into the make options or it can be done in 
preparing the package.
