| It's a side effect of the R5900 ELF specification in the linker, and I don't know of any way to remove the bloated ELF header using binutils. A while back Tyranid wrote a small utility that stripped that header and made the ELF smaller in other areas - you might want to check with him on that. |

It's no biggie. Should be just a case of shortening header padding, updating tables and killing anything that isn't a program header....
Was just looking for a quick (lazy) fix tbh :)
Thanks,
