No, it should really be just 5KB as it is dynamically linked.
What you might be seeing is a conflict  in the library search path, e.g.
for some reason it is picking up the version in /usr/lib on Linux.
Given that ELF linkage is more often than not broken in Linux because
distro maintaners don't understand it, I wouldn't be surprised too much.
