ok.

What's the difference regarding the size of resulting binaries?

ok. Thanks for the clarification and sorry for the misunderstanding. I
might be wrong, but there are many people pushing patches at the moment
(people from usagi, patches for fmipv6, patches from sebastien, some
patches i have in the pipe). It might be a good idea to federate that
