Currently used modload requires a kernel with symbols. * what size of temporary files will it produce in process of loading? Currently used modload runs normal ld, which produces a ca. 30kB file in /tmp. This may sound for you like nothing, but it's very important for tiny systems. * is it supposed to be (eventually) used instead of current lkm? Thanks.
