I took your script for a testrun, overall very nice.
When I left the USE="-static", the overall size ended up being much larger,
so I removed it. Adding "-nls" is a good idea too, although its simple
enough to coopt localepurge.
I added the line
find ${ROOT_DIR} -name "*.a" | xargs -r r
as the first line of create_img.
I know gawk should eventually be removed as a dep of the init scripts, but
for now, removing ${ROOT_DIR}/bin/pgawk* helps.
tundra embeddedgentoo # ls work/bin/pgawk* -l
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 237376 Oct 31 15:55 work/bin/pgawk
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 237376 Oct 31 15:55 work/bin/pgawk-3.1.2
I do have a question - in the argument handling case statement, where do
the values for target and host come from?
