Chris .. my before and after for ticker.exe are:

[joel at rtbf64c b-mpc8260ads-before]$ cd ../b-mpc8260ads
[joel at rtbf64c b-mpc8260ads]$ powerpc-rtems5-size `find . -name ticker.exe`
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  86792    2364  145288  234444   393cc
./powerpc-rtems5/c/mpc8260ads/testsuites/samples/ticker.exe

I am doing a complete build from scratch -- reconfigure, build, etc. Are
you doing that as well?

Patch pushed.
