dear jerry, thanks for your reply.i am using u-boot 1.1.5 .my binary is only 90kb & i still wanted to reduce the size.i thought compiling u-boot is like compiling linux kernel,ie source file for the disabled commands wont get compiled,now i understood that i was wrong.
i wanted to reduce size to less than 90kb because of constraints in available flash memory space.
i have done it by disabling bootp & rarp by using #define macros i didnt find option for that in /include/cmd_confdefs.h .
once again i thank you for your response
thanks & regards vibi sreenivasan

thanks in advance.

How big is your binary, why do you need to reduce its size? I ask because most of the time this question is the result of a link gone bad where part of the linked binary lives in low memory space and part lives in high memory space. As a result, the .bin has a huge amount of filled (unused) data between the two.
