On a PowerPC target that includes libfdt already...

Configuring for MPC8360EMDS board with CONFIG_FIT:

    text           data     bss     dec     hex filename
  231588          12072   26836  270496   420a0 ./u-boot

without CONFIG_FIT:

    text           data     bss     dec     hex filename
  211648          11604   26796  250048   3d0c0 ./u-boot

delta text = 19940 (19.5K).  Still pretty heavy.  :-/  I have not looked 
at where the weight is coming from, just thought it would be interesting 
to see what the delta looked like when libfdt was already included.  I 
was expecting a bigger hit from libfdt and less from FIT.  Hmmmm.

Best regards,
