[till]

Here are some more numbers (powerpc/svgm BSP):

rtems-ss-20020301:

rtems-ss-20030128-ssrl_patched (compiled with -msdata=eabi):

netboot.exe is a small application using networking

rtems.exe OTOH, is a full-blown generic system including complete
RTEMS libraries, libc, cexp etc. As you can see, this application has
effectively become _smaller_ (note that some of the size reduction is
most likely due to the -msdata=eabi option which I used to compile
everything (except for libc, libgcc, i.e. the libraries who are part of the
toolchain).
