My build of ramdisk-tiny.fs is currently exploding (1515520 bytes),
this could easily be due to a local change pulling in an unexpected
chunk of libc.
However the build does make it rather difficult to work out what
has happened. In particular leaving an unstripped ramdiskbin
and making ld output a mapfile would make finding what has grown
or been unexpectedly included (and why) a lot easier.
This would be particulary true if something in the source tree
indicated which bits of libc are expected to be included.
I've also just noticed that 'objdump -h ramdiskbin' shows:
12 .note 00002ef4 00000000 00000000 00115420 2**0
CONTENTS, READONLY
13 .ident 00006d9f 00000000 00000000 00118314 2**0
CONTENTS, READONLY
I think these could be safely deleted (saving 40k).
