I hope you understand part of the installation process is to strip debug
info from the executable -- in every case the installed binary is much
smaller than the one on the src/ tree

Mon 11:10 ~/.build/vim/vim: cd src
Mon 11:10 ~/.build/vim/vim/src: l vim
-rwxr-xr-x 1 9778273 Nov 28 20:35 vim
Mon 11:10 ~/.build/vim/vim/src: cd /usr/local/bin
Mon 11:10 /usr/local/bin: l vim
