Some of that is due to data structures, but most certainly could be
factored out, and really should be. Since, apparently, klibc got
rejected for 2.6.18 we have some time to improve that situation.
For total size reasons I'm pretty sure we need to still provide a single
binary. The trunk code, however, needs to be clean enough that it can
be easily modified, too.
