How exactly is 163640 so good? It looks roughly comparable to:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody 32766 4717 May 12 23:37 /rb/2/usr/bin/dumpe2fs
-rwxr-xr-x 2 nobody 32766 71229 May 12 23:37 /rb/2/usr/bin/e2fsck
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody 32766 16289 May 12 23:37 /rb/2/usr/bin/mke2fs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody 32766 4076 May 12 23:37 libcom_err.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody 32766 11576 May 12 23:37 libe2p.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody 32766 68980 May 12 23:37 libext2fs.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody 32766 13792 May 12 23:37 libss.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody 32766 8132 May 12 23:37 libuuid.so.1
Which is my 1.19 ext2fs stuff. I am hoping to get around to running
mklibs.sh on the libraries, etc., and get it smaller, but I would have
thought if it was combined it would have been smaller than 165...
