Thank you.

This might be very useful for me, because I'm trying to convice
my company to use Linux for our embedded application. Do you
have any estimate on how much space the patch saves?

Currenly, I have compiled SGI's MIPS Linux with almost everything
disabled in the configuration. This gives me a ~900K binary
(text+data+bss), which isn't too bad compared against our 600K
proprietary kernel lacking multitasking, virtual memory, and
much more. But additional memory savings would be great!
