I have a patch which increases similarity between these subtrees, while still generating identical code. After that, only very few differences remain in compressed/misc.c video.S tools/build.c and it should be possible to unify them and kill one copy of each. Would a series of incremental patches to consolidate these two subtrees get accepted?
