If you use that build mode, then hello world for x86 linux is only 8kb in size. It's very similar to what you'd expect from Musl Libc. All the Windows / BSD / Mac / BIOS stuff gets removed from the compilation. That predefined mode is actually a friendly wrapper around a more generalized platform support system Cosmopolitan offers, which is called `-DSUPPORT_VECTOR` where you can define a bitset of specifically what platforms you want to be supported. Then dead code elimination takes care of the rest. The same concept also generally applies to microarchitecture support, where you can have as much or as little runtime dispatching as you want.
