Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current build script (or manual build process) generates a cling binary that relies on external dependencies located in the inst and cling directories. These directories contain numerous files, including source code, which take up considerable storage space.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like a method to build cling and then remove all files that are not required by the final binary. This would help in reducing storage usage.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative solution could be to provide cling as an AppImage or a single-file binary, eliminating the need for multiple dependencies.

Additional context

The cling project occupies a significant amount of storage space. My goal is to retain only the essential binary. Although there are snapshots available on the root project website, they are outdated.
