Thanks for testing. The size reduction is due to the gcc ARM backend
which has obviously undergone many improvements since gcc 4.2.x.
Openrd_base goes from 376 to 360k, and edminiv2 (untested yet, though)
from 152 to 144k when using the CS arm-2010q1-202 toolchain (4.4.1)
instead of the ELDK 4.2 one (gcc 4.2.2).

Did you mean 'Tested-by:'?

Amicalement,
