Question to all: is this a good thing to have:

knee jerk reaction, why not...

that said, what is the difference in the resulting size with this option?

I don't think there is a problem in having it, but I also don't think that we want to make it the default in the pre-built packages we provide.

There are going to be some distros that enable it by default to make things smaller, and for some things, this may make a noticable difference (I'd really like to see rsyslog in OpenWRT for example, and there things are really tight) so there is a small negative to having the option. But I don't think that it needs test coverage, and I think the odds of it actually causing a problem (as opposed to making it harder to debug a problem) are very small.
