: I have a patch that makes /bin and /sbin optionally non-static.  For
: small systems that have / and /usr on the same file system, you can
: save about 5M-6M of disk space by making /bin and /sbin shared.

It looks like I understated the savings.  It saves 6.5M for our cut
down tree (which tries to grab as few of the /bin and /sbin binaries
as it can).  For the full tree it saves 12-13M (2.1M vs 14.4M).  My
cut down minimal system went from 14.7M to 8.2M.
