if you haven't tried this build ast-open with
export PACKAGE_OPTIONS=optimize-space
there is an added trick, I can't locate the src right now, where
one a.out uses argv[0] to select the appropriate b_*() from -lcmd
this allows all -lcmd cmd utils to hard link to one a.out
when I find the src I'll update the src/cmd/builtin/Makefile to do this for
optimize-space
