This looks twice as good for one of MIPS configs:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4908276  204104 2846304 7958684  79709c vmlinux.after
4941596  204104 2846304 7992004  79f2c4 vmlinux.before
$ file vmlinux
vmlinux: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

More than 30Kb gone, thanks a lot!
