Looks like the formatted strings is considered as a string literal, not a
symbol, while linux kernel's bloat-o-meter is doing symbol lookup through
'nm', which could not find the diff of string literal, and show nothing 
change in the 'RO Data' category. The string literal is resident in the 
.rodata section, and busybox's bloat-o-meter is reading the .rodata section
through 'readelf' so it could find the size diff.
