Hmm, nice... I have to check that out...
In the meantime, I compiled sfdisk that was in util-linux2.9g package
in my libc5 compilation environment, the dynamically linked got size
53132 bytes (and sstripped to 51777) the same version statically linked
with the same libc had size 150320 bytes. Anyone interested can download
the binary from http://iki.fi/too/sfdisk
