Re: kernel size

[vda]

This is what is going into bzImage:
#objdump -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux vmlinux.binary

To see lengths of the symbols:
#objdump -R .note -R .comment vmlinux vmlinux.stripped
#nm vmlinux.stripped |
 grep -v '\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$$\)\|\( [aUw] \)\|\(\.\.ng$$\)\|\(LASH[RL]DI\)' |
 sort >System.stripped.map
 (well, I see exactly this grep in the Makefile.
  If mail-mangled, look there to restore)
# ./gensize <System.stripped.map >System.stripped.size.map
# sort -r <System.stripped.size.map >System.stripped.sorted.map

gensize script (very silly) is at bottow of my email.
Top lines from my System.stripped.sorted.map follow.
I wonder: are all these have to be that big?
Anybody spots something unusual?
