The kernel is not a shared library nor does it use a shared library, so library Optimizer is useless on the kernel. You should enable EMBEDDED (General setup --> Configure standard kernel features), remove all unneccessary stuff. "find . -name Kconfig | xargs grep EMBEDDED" will tell you more about options that depend on EMBEDDED. Another good one to remove is the many IO schedulers (Device drivers --> Block Devices --> IO Schedulers). Erik -- Erik Mouw J.A.K.Mouw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx mouw@xxxxxxxxxxxx
