This will discard EXPORT_SYMBOLs potentially used by out-of-tree modules. I also saw ~10% size reductions, but then at run-time test modules failed to load, they didn't find needed symbols. OTOH if I know that I am not going to be using such modules, then this can be done. Will require another CONFIG_xxx, though. -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
