After #174, the size of the native binary images is unacceptably large (approaching 200 MB).

The issue has been reported to the Graal project: oracle/graal#2756

With the normal java build, we are able to see what is contributing by looking at the .jar. Have you run into any similiar tooling for Graal?

I'm not really aware. A quick search found these options: https://gitter.im/graalvm/native-image?at=5bafc470e65a6343365ba56e

Any progress?

This is a big problem for my project.
I'm using google-closure-compiler-linux in AWS Lambda for parallel builds, and 250MB is the upper limit of the whole package size after unzipping.
I cannot update Closure Compiler to v20200628+ for the limitation.

I have no experience with upx, but if it works and reduces size I am definitely for it. I'd welcome such a PR.
