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.
