Did you remember to use the -s command line option? The GNU C++ compiler includes debugging symbols by default.
Also, you can use the various -O options to optimise it.
The main reason is that they are DOS executables, and in order to be 32-bit they have to include a DPMI server (like DOS/4GW but self-contained). Windows programs can be smaller because Windows provides its own DPMI which they run under.
As for Allegro, no idea, sorry :(
