[Click] click/grid on embedded systems

[kevin at tackledesign.com]

Hi,

I'm currently working on porting the Click/Grid platform to the embedded MIPS
board available in Linksys WRT54G Access Points. This platform is ideal for this
kind of application given it's flexibility and low cost (under $80 for a
complete linux based wireless router). Unfortunately it does have some space
constraints for storage and memory (4 Mb of Flash and 16 Mb of RAM). 

I've tried building the current version of Click from CVS and was surprised to
discover the size (my build was something on the order of 15 Mb for the user
level binary). Is this simply because of debug code or is Click just that large?

Are there any changes that I could make to strip out unneeded code? 

Ideally I'd like to be able to use Click as user level service for the time
being, but I'll be building a kernel module eventually. Are there significant
size differences for either of those?

I will also be linking the code against uLibc as well, but I'm guessing that
won't have a huge affect (at least not on the order of 15 Mb)...

Any thoughts or recommendations would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Kevin
