What about making the source smaller and not the executable?
static void print_start(char const *name, char const *what) {
if (name[0]) fprintf("%c%s",name[0]&~0x20, name+1);
fprintf(stderr, " %s: ",what);
}
I know this is not slim, but as maintenance time rises with
pow(lines-of-code,something>1.0), it pays quite soon :-)
