Ah, ok. So, if I understand this correctly, you want to only keep the
symbols in libc/libm that are needed by the binaries on the boot floppies,
correct? If so, I may have a scheme to do this, but I would have to see
the scripts first (I'll check them out of CVS probably tomorrow) to make
sure they don't already try that :-)

Ok...this script probably does what I'm thinking about then. Is this one
working well enough or do you want to shrink it even more?
