Then I believe you are a bit on your own to make sure the resulting pieces work together, which could include applying local patches to gnulib-tool. I tend to prefer ease of maintenance over optimizing code size for non-modern and/or non-GNU systems. The amount of system-replacing gnulib object code pulled in shouldn't be too large even on older GNU systems. Did you try to measure the bloat size? Which modules with object code do you need in every sub-module? /Simon
