This can s= ave several kB in binary size, however will make the symmetrical ciphers (AES= , DES etc) slower (perhaps by 50%). Recommended for most small systems. */ so maybe they prefered to get performance by default instead of saving 50= kB. We can keep this option by adding this to the recipe : +do_configure_prepend() { + echo "#define DROPBEAR_SMALL_CODE" >>${S}/options.h +} + Eric
