Hi,
I've double checked the size:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
     98       0       0      98      62 debianutils/readlink_orig_with_f.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
     98       0       0      98      62 debianutils/readlink_new_with_f.o

As you can see it is the same.
I think I've messed up the .o files while trying and 
retrying. ;-)

Ciao,
Tito
