I checked with gcc-3.3 and before the patch:

$ size kernel/built-in.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 197342   48061   44896  290299   46dfb kernel/built-in.o

After the patch:

$ size kernel/built-in.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 197346   48061   44896  290303   46dff kernel/built-in.o

Impressive savings...

bye, Roman
