Because when you using /MT (M$VC) switch, the program linking against STATIC version of LIBCMT.LIB, thats give output binary to be more huge. While mingw links your program against non-static library (msvcrt.dll). M$VC can also links program against non-static library, but uses not msvcrt.dll, but msvcr80.dll, so output binary can only work on machine that have M$VC 8.0 runtime libraries installed.
