I tried it also and got the same linked error.  Unfortunately, that's 
what worked for me.

On the test BSP I was using (a sparc), it has a DEBUG_puts() call in 
console.c which is
called from the start path of the BSP.  Thus it didn't drop the size 
that much.  This just
emphasized that size is a BSP issue as well as a general RTEMS issue.  
If the BSP
has sticky fingers, it doesn't matter how much restructuring we do.

It might take moving the guts of this function into a subroutine in 
another file and
place that file in libcsupport.  Then have confdefs.h generate the code 
for this function.
I will have to think about this though.
