too big binaries

  Hi Harald,
  I think Piotr's binaries are static; he's complaining about their size,
compared to the size of the binaries that can be found on busybox.net.

  My guess is that Piotr tried a static compilation with the glibc, which
will indeed pull in 2 MB of random crap. Whereas the prebuilt binaries on
busybox.net were statically linked against either uClibc or musl, which
makes for much smaller binaries.
