Trying adding --gc-sections to the command line compile. This will garbage collect unused stuff, so it's not included. I'm unsure how well this will work with something compiled without -ffunction-sections tho. > Are there any tools to help do this?

The archives will normally do this themselves, however, it will only limit it to only including the object files in the library, not always the *functions* only. What you want is called 'function level linking'. It occured to me that, I'm not sure how it can work with newer versions of gcc, however, a good pointer on using rlink: https://ribosome.helixcommunity.org/2005/devdocs/FuncLevelLinking -- -- Thomas _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
