That's won't help. Either uClibc or glibc are going to be linked as shared libraries and the size indicated above excludes libc. > use compression http://upx.sourceforge.net/ We use squashfs (http://squashfs.sourceforge.net/) on many of our systems. Using this approach, all your files, including binaries and shared libraries will be compressed in flash. Better than compressing apps one at a time.
