Good q.  If people care about on-disk size, maybe we should look at bzI=
mage=20
size?

Anyway, here 'tis:
Before:
  text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4116153  433292  475136 5024581  4cab45 vmlinux
-rw-r--r-- 1 rusty rusty 2251984 2008-11-19 02:03 arch/x86/boot/bzImage

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4116089  437388  475136 5028613  4cbb05 vmlinux
-rw-r--r-- 1 rusty rusty 2252016 2008-11-19 02:05 arch/x86/boot/bzImage

Cheers,
Rusty.
