Yes, or yes they should.

That is, if they can all be set in the options dialog. If any of them 
can not be set there, then that is a different problem. (I believe they 
can, but I have not tested)
That would still NOT mean the need for one checkbox named "create 
smallest executable".
It would mean, that this particular setting would need to be added to 
the project-compiler-settings.

So if we have all the individual settings avail there, then it can be 
done with a build mode.

I have not tested if they are there (note that a lot can be done by 
adding custom compiler options ("other" tab) too.

And there are build macros, which can also be used.  I have in the past 
used them, to use the same package across several projects, but build 
with different settings. This definitely works. (And recompiles used 
packages, if needed)
