Hi, For every external symbol in a module. Because of the -mlong-calls gcc option you have 2 relocation entries am R_MIPS_HI_16 R_MIPS_LO_16 entry. A string table entry for the symbol & three instructions for each jump or call. We can eliminate the string table entry by making as many functions as possible static but this means changing investigating every source file of which there are around 100. It would save a fortune in space if we were allowed link into the kernel but the module is from broadcom & we are not allowed to do this. If anyone has any good suggestions I would be very greatful.
