Time for another before and after... This is a rebuild of kdebase with the
patch:

Before:

$ du -sk /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_*.so | awk ' { total += $1; } END { print "Total " total;}'
Total 39164

After:

$ du -sk /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_*.so | awk ' { total += $1; } END { print "Total " total;}'
Total 38396

Result: 768Kb saved.


NOTE: all libs were prelinked again before running the stats.. as prelink
increases the filesize also.


Since I only rebuild kdebase, there are still some kdeinit libs with extra symbols:

$ objdump -CT /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_*.so|egrep "g +DF .text"|grep -v kdemain|wc -l
