you're right, i was thinking only in terms of a busybox that was built
with a shared libbusybox.so (which, i'm pretty sure, *would* contain
all of the compiled routines, right?)

you're correct in that it would definitely make a difference in the
final size of a busybox linked against libbb.a.  my apologies.
