I've tried that for one evening without immediate results, then got distracted again. My basic idea was to compile a kernel, measure the size, apply a patch, recompile and measure the new size. One could eve= n do something similar to git-bisect that way, each time ignoring the hal= f that causes less bloat. The main disadvantage I see is with the overwhelming number of new config options being added. Going from 2.6.x to 2.6.x+1 will add so many new options that I usually just 'yes "" | make oldconfig'. If someone can translate my description into a few lines of bash or perl, we could turn it into a "make bloatcheck" and require^W hope that at least some people use it, get ashamed and fix their mess before it even hits the list.
