When I build CEF on macOS using the instructions from the wiki the size of
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework is 338M
While the one with the cef_binary distribution is only 153M
What flags / settings do I need to make these the same.
I made sure I am comparing release to release build.

I built using the following and the Framework file is still 354M
python ./automate-git.py --download-dir=. --minimal-distrib --client-distrib --no-debug-build --x64-build --branch=4389
