Btw, there must be something wrong in your size comparison for x86: i386 = 524115 bytes text data bss dec hex filename 5695619 870906 328112 6894637 69342d vmlinux-after 6221254 870634 326864 7418752 713380 vmlinux-before The "bss" number shouldn't change as far as I can tell, and indeed, on all the other architectures you cite, it doesn't change. So I think your before/after numbers on x86 are something else.
