I wondered why 20h did not use `du -h st-0.3/st' instead.

Perhaps because ls was good enough for making the point that, on his 
system (unlike mine), the size increase from st 0.3 to the latest git is 
nowhere near 16x?

The exact size of the binary was irrelevant.
The *relative* size was the issue.
