% cc -static -O -o minigzip minigzip.c -lz
% size minigzip                           
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  75299    8524    2004   85827   14f43 minigzip
% ls -l minigzip
-rwxr-xr-x  1 jeremyp  inplat  96509 Dec 17 08:08 minigzip

Or, ignoring the libc code (which is indicative of the effect of
building it into a crunched executable):

% cc -O -o minigzip minigzip.c /usr/lib/libz.a
% ls -l minigzip                          
-rwxr-xr-x  1 jeremyp  inplat  48523 Dec 17 08:08 minigzip
% size minigzip 
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  37756    4848     272   42876    a77c minigzip
