Description Maxim Dziumanenko 2004-07-08 15:03:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
insmod.static is about 575kb long. 
Static insmod compiled with dietlibc is about 93kb long. 

With dietlibc compiled insmod.static my initrd image has smaller on
250kb. 
Now I can create boot floppy, that was impossible before because of
excess of restriction in 1440kb.

BuildRequires: dietlibs
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-07-08 16:00:05 UTC 
Architecture-specific buildprereqs really don't work too well; that's
why it's not there.
