DD-WRT also has tons of printk's and such stripped out of nearly
everything, although I don't think it makes a huge difference, maybe
several KB savings in the end.  But several KB out of 2MB can be useful
at the expense of less debugging ability.  Their micro build busybox is
nearly crippled as well due to stripped features.  But they end up with
1.6MB total which is pretty heroic.

It would be neat to have a couple minimal presets for tiny targets
though.  Maybe not truly supported as such, but there for people who
like to live on the edge, or will use external rootfs.
