OK, on alpha, without -DLIBSA_FS_SINGLECOMPONENT and with
-DLIBSA_NO_FS_SYMLINK I get (for 1.4.x-branch):

6673    432     228     7333    1ca5    bootxx_ffs.sym

(yes, i find the odd size interesting, but not enough to look into
it...  8-)

OK, one step away from the cliff rather than holding on to it with
your fingertips...  8-)
