[U-Boot-Users] Size and format of standalone apps

[Robin Gilks <robin.gilks@tait.co.nz>]

Greetings

I'm seeking illumination in the area of standalone applications.

For example, on powerpc, the hello_world binary is 90% nulls with just a 
few words on the end.

How can I truncate this to make the code more space efficient or change 
the link order to not have this vast embedded block of wasted space?

It appears to be associated with libgcc so perhaps there is a way of 
forcing these functions to be inlined? Is there a way of avoiding them 
altogether or perhaps since U-Boot has already included them, maybe more 
vectors to gain access to them?

Many thanks.
