Description
There's a comment in the Xenial Dockerfile:
I think removing build-essential and make, just prior to the apt-get autoremove should cut the image size by ~100MiB, or ~20%.

Research direction
Start in xenial/Dockerfile around line 107 and inspect the package cleanup sequence after the build completes. Test whether removing build-essential and make before apt-get autoremove reduces the resulting image size without breaking the image build. Done means the Xenial image builds successfully and the size reduction is confirmed.
