Hi! I'm currently struggle trying to fit my FreeBSD 12/mips build into 8M flash available. It used to fit with early 11.0-CURRENT and it has over megabyte overhead with 12.0-CURRENT. Large parts are /usr/bin and /usr/lib and I've found something very strange. For example: /usr/lib/libprivateucl.so.1 has 136064 bytes for amd64 and it has 241560 bytes for mips. "nm -C -D --print-size --size-sort libprivateucl.so.1" shows the symbol "ucl_hash_replace" has 330 bytes (0x14a) for amd64 and it has 25000 bytes (sic! 0x61a8) for mips. I understand that amd64 version is built with clang and MIPS code generated with gcc. But why such large difference? In no way such small function ucl_hash_replace() should expand to 25000 machine code bytes. I suspect other parts of code may have this problem too. Eugene Grosbein
