My dynamically-linked executable is 8296 bytes on disc. My statically-linked executable is 844,704 bytes on disc.
So if I had a "goodbye world" program as well, that's a saving of about 800KB on disc.
Now one can argue the economics of saving a bit under a megabyte in a time where an 8GB microSD card costs under USD5 in single quantities, but you can't argue that it's a relatively big saving.
At runtime, the dynamic version uses (according to top) 10540 KB virtual, 540 KB resident, and 436 KB shared. The static version uses 9092 KB virtual, 256 KB resident, and 188 KB shared.

I haven't investigated those numbers.
