Just wondering WHY you want to compress a Linux executable anyway?! If you want to save space on a CD or something like that, you're better off using cloop (compressed loopback device).. with the added advantage that your exe will have a lower virtual memory footprint as Linux can demand page the executable, which it can't with a compressed exe.
