I'll put the bike shed in place, and let others paint it green :-) I'm very happy at the savings. On my CF part, I've saved enough to squeeze onto a 8M part in a pinch (obviously with no application, but with a few of the frequently requested binaries like csh). Not bad for 15 minutes worth of hacking and a lot of waiting for buildworld to finish :-) I'm leaning toward DYNAMIC_ROOT_BINS right now. I like Mike's idea to have a NO_STATIC_LIBRARIES as well, which would make installing onto the flash easier (since I install them now and then later blow them away).
