Its probably one of these "again" questions but I couldn't get a
reasonable/sound answer.
I'm building an arm rootfs and an 2.6.23.14 kernel with the actual svn
buildroot and uclibc. It works quite well but produces really large
kernel images.

Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 4528112 Bytes = 4421.98 kB = 4.32 MB
With an old toolchain I can achive regular sizes:

Data Size: 1412792 Bytes = 1379.68 kB = 1.35 MB
Unfortunately, the old toolchain has a buggy uclibc and I need a new
one. -- How can I fix that greedy kernel thing ? --
Thanks in advance...
