Yes, to think about it deeply before doing anything :-)
Extending the ELF loader to link not only against the kernel should be
one of the smaller issues, here.

Don't get what you mean. But in any way, it's not public yet, and for
R2/R3 the .a issue is eventually resolved otherwise.
And I really think we should stop wasting time by discussing that now.

Probably not much. Are you sure that's the thing which makes it that
big?
Anyway, about what total size are we talking here?
And which modules would have to be linked against the library?
If it's too much, we could just put all modules under ppp/ together in
one binary for R1 - not nice but would solve the issue.
Bye,
Axel.
