   Yes, this PR appears to meet the basic NuttX requirements, although it could 
be more thorough.  While it addresses the key points, it lacks specific details 
in several areas which would make review easier.
   
   Here's a breakdown:
   
   **Strengths:**
   
   * **Clear Summary:** The summary explains the *what* and *why* of the 
change, and the benefit (smaller size, easier debugging).
   * **Identifies Impacted Area:** Correctly identifies the impact as 
hardware-specific (qemu-armv7a).
   * **Mentions Testing:**  Indicates testing was performed locally and that CI 
checks are expected.
   
   **Weaknesses:**
   
   * **Missing Detail in Summary:**  The *how* is somewhat vague. It states 
"allows apps... to be built as executable type ELF files," but doesn't explain 
the mechanism of the change.  What was modified to achieve this?
   * **Impact Lacks Detail:** The impact section needs significant expansion. 
While "qemu-armv7a" is mentioned,  it doesn't specify whether other ARM 
architectures or boards are affected.  All other impact categories are simply 
omitted (user impact, build process, documentation, security, compatibility). 
These should be explicitly stated as "NO" or "YES" with explanations.
   * **Insufficient Testing Information:** "Local checks" and "CI checks" are 
too general.  The PR needs specific details about the host system (OS version, 
compiler version). The target information is slightly better but should specify 
the NuttX configuration used. Most importantly, the "Testing logs before 
change" and "Testing logs after change" sections are empty.  These are crucial 
for demonstrating the change's effect and should include relevant output 
showing the difference in behavior.
   
   
   **Recommendation:**
   
   The PR author should add the missing details to strengthen it.  Specifically:
   
   * **Summary:** Elaborate on the *how*. What files were changed? What build 
system modifications were made?
   * **Impact:** Address *all* impact categories.  Even if the answer is "NO," 
it should be explicitly stated.  For "hardware," be more specific about 
affected architectures/boards.
   * **Testing:** Provide detailed host and target information. Include actual 
log output demonstrating the change's effect (e.g., file sizes before/after, 
GDB debugging experience comparison).  If logs are extensive, consider linking 
to a separate file or using a diff tool.
